Turns out putting a Pentium D 830 in a Silverstone TJ08 is a bad idea, this thing manages to heat up the entire back of the case to a crazy temperature, and the temperature controlled Intel cooler spins too fast for my ears to enjoy. Now, I want a fairly compact case which is why I bought the TJ08 in the first place. The question is, would replacing it with a PC-V600B leave me with the same problems? The Antec NSK4400 isn't much larger than the TJ08 but seems to have a much better layout so it wouldn't be so oven-like inside, but it's a bit . . plain.

The V600 is, as far as I'm concerned, a very expensive case, and I want to know that it will be an improvement over my Silverstone. I've seen the thread here where someone had about 16 billion hard drives in, and I only have one, so I'm hoping that means I'll have more luck.

Yes I bought a Pentium D, it's great for what I use it for but it runs hot. No, changing the CPU is not an option.

Thanks

What about replacing the two 12cm fans with higher CFM ones? Or replacing PSU with a faster PSU fan? I have a Silverstone TJ08 with a 3700+, 25-30 cpu idle, 35 mobo, 41 cpu load, 44 mobo load.

That's a 3700+ though. This is two 3GHz Prescott cores.
 
Nah it's an Asus P5LD2-VM. The heat isn't really an issue as in it is 100% stable, but I'd like to get it down if possible.
 
I guess I'm just missing having a Lian-Li, had a PC-60 about a year ago which was damn nice to work with.

Gonna order the V600B methinks.
 
Case temps of 50 degrees is too hot for me, with a rear panel that is painful to hold your hand to.

Probably gonna eBay the TJ08.
 
I've seen that thread, that's what got me talking about it in here.

I may just get the Antec and call it a day, but I miss my Lian-Li :(

Ah screw it, all those holes must count for something. Ordered the V600.
