New here so hopefully im posting this in the right place

At some point this week I will be ordering the "Titan 420i Tanto". since it is overclocked to 4.2, will there be much danger of overheating? I will be playing this thing a lot and probably be pushing it as far as it can go, last thing I want is it exploding and blowing up the street or anything. Also, how many fans does the NZXT phantom case have, and will it be noisy?

many thanks :)
 
You'll be fine. The overclock has been professionally done, tested and stressed by OcUK and any damage caused by the overclock, will be covered by warranty. Depending on the fans, it could get noisy. You could ask for a fan controller if need be.

Just had a look and the 410 comes with a 120mm fan in front and rear and a140mm fan in the top, no idea on the noise levels sorry but I'm sure someone who has the case will chime in.

As for blowing the street up, you'll be fine. The system will be stress tested for 8 hours before shipping as standard. Just make sure it's got some ventilation around it wherever it gets installed so it gets plenty of air.

The case has a front Dust filter to help keep some dust out of the case and keep temps down. Make sure you give it a clean every few days otherwise it could become clogged with dust and can restrict airflow.
 
I have a phantom. It dosnt have 140mm on top they are 200mm fans.
As for being quite i cant remember if it was loud or not as i have changed them.
 
I'd always suggest checking the temps yourself as things as come loose in transit etc.

So download HWMonitor for temps and fan speeds and OCCT / Prime95 for stress testing. Run each for a couple of hours then you'll have a good idea of the ambient temps inside the case. Always a good idea to initially monitor both for a few minutes of course.
