Hey guys. Be needing a new case as since going sli with the x2 560ti its getting a bit warm. So been looking around at stuff come across a few things like the silverstone raven 2 and 3, but not that sure. Somthing to cool things down and i guess if its possiable to quite things down.

So budget i guess max £150.

My current case is Cooler Master CM-690 II Lite.
 
the raven's are a good case as there on there side basicly so your getting better air into and out of the case, the CM 690 should be a good enough case tho really, loads of room in them!
 
The case has been ok. But since i think the raven will do a better job. The noise level can a get on ya a bit with the msi twin frozas 560s, as the fan cranks up when playing bf3.

If the cm690 is deemed good i guess i just need some more fans?? Only got the ones that came with.

I think from looking around these past few days the raven seems the best. Only decsion is i guess is it the raven 2 or 3 ??
 
Raven RV02 has better cooling than RV03 and is more quiet.(RV03 cooling is very good still)

The Raven RV03 has a bit more room for cable management however but it's good enough on Raven RV02 anyway.

You will not need more fans trust me :p i have mine on low all the time in a warm room yet my temps never go high.Your cards should probably hit 70-75c max in most intensive games like Witcher 2/Metro 2033/Shogun 2/BF3.

Post some pics when you get and let us know how it goes as i am going SLI soon.(might wait for 6 series and SLI them though)
 
Yeah no probs defo get some pics up. Probley be around xmas time when its all togther, as the items i am looking at are being bought for me.

No extra fans well thats good news i guess. But the cooler the better i guess.

Thanks for the advice boys all very helpful.
 
Just come back from OC. Got the silverstone raven 2 and picked up an ssd and a cpu cooler. Sad thing is there for xmas haaa. Thanks for the advice with the case the box is massive haa.
