Just got one of these and im very happy with the build quality just not too sure about the cooling...

Got a 2.6ghz dual core, x850xt, 4gb ram and temps seem to be high on both my memory and gfx card

Anyone got any solutions on good cooling, quiet fans that push a lot of air? Modifications to the case....

Cheers
 
I used to have one of these, make sure anywhere you can put a fan, you have one - and that they have good airflow. If you have the Evolution model then you can get two fans above the graphics card which helps quite a bit.

It might also be worth it picking up the FX-121 fan for behind the CPU.

I found my X1950XTX screamed for air during intensive games though. Not a lot I could really do about it, but moving to the SG03 solved all the airflow issues I had.

You could always get one of the Swiftech H2O 120 Compact kits and fit that in there - it shouldn't be too hard to mount the rad somewhere.

(opteron 175) I use the nt06 passively with my psu to cool my chip - temps are fine :)
I've also got the 2 fans at the top installed and extracting, the fan for the hd's come in from the same side.

modifications - well a few people have put watercooling into a sugo sg01e

Thanks for the reply. The fans near the gfx card, would you have them both as exhaust fans?

I had them both on intake, but I guess it depends on your graphics card. For example, mine was a double slot cooler so it would exhaust out the back. I tried to keep airflow as good as possible near the intake.

For yours i'd try switching stuff around and monitoring temps.

That Swiftech kit is on this week only btw! ;) :D :p
