u could try to put a side panel case fan as exhaust. hmm.gif

anyway, with such system, i recommend u to get a bigger case like Corsair 600T or HAF X. if u have higher budget then go for Silverstone FT02. it is a very heavy case n superb airflow. thumbup.gif

Silverstone FT02 , sooooo eyes candy .... but the price is spicy as well lol...
HAF X is so - > drool.gif


between ....which chassis u mentioned above having better performance comparing to each others brows.gif

the HAF X is a full tower chassis whereby corsair 600T is a mid tower. if u r opting for spaces in the chassis then go for HAF X, but if u r looking for good air flow (even with the stock fans) then go for Corsair 600T. the HAF X stock fans kinda lousy especially the side panel. u cant even feel the wind. doh.gif

n of coz, FT02 is the best since it is the most expensive chassis among the other 2 chassis. great air flow. really respect. notworthy.gif

tats my opinion. tongue.gif

thx for the advise once again rclxms.gif

i have decided , and 1 more question .... this gonna be my first time to setup a chassis by myself
Basically , what tools do i need to prepare before i start migrating from the old chassis
and what i need to do if the quantity of chassis fan is more than the pin on my mobo , i can only find 4 set of pin for the fan doh.gif

if its more then u can juz connect directly to ur power supply with the 4pin-molex converter which it should b provided. smile.gif

u need a screw driver, screws, a lot of cable ties, n if u r going to remove ur CPU heatsink then u will need alcohol swab (u can get it in any pharmacy n it is quite cheap) n thermal paste (this u had to get it from computer accessory shop n the price might vary depending on the brand n features). laugh.gif
