Specs :

Intel Core i5 2400
500GB Hard Disk
4GB RAM
Asus GTX 560Ti
CM GX Power 650W

i think it only has one rear fan. cause i'm using my old case. lately i would like to change a better case to reduce the heat.

GPU TEMP : 40-45c idle. 75-85celcius while gaming. ambient temp is around 30+ (Malaysia Weather ) biggrin.gif

Can you guys recommend me a casing. Budget around RM 100 -200 just for the cooling, designs doesnt matter. something worth the money.

And recommend me case fans . How many of it , The size , and the RPM.

Thank you very much ! smile.gif

There is also the Xigmatel Midgard II and the Thermaltake MS-1 commander that falls into the same price range

honestly, with these cases, you'd not need to worry about adding extra fans so much unless you feel that your components are too hot after you transfer the hardwares

BTW, the Gtx560Ti is considered to be a hot card to operate but your load temps are quite normal at the moment

XigmateK Asgard Pro for sure.. the elite 430 cable management is not as good as the Asgard Pro


Added on September 15, 2012, 12:08 pmTemps will decrease but it will be probably by 5C at most.. still its an improvement wink.gif

U can go for bitfenix. it has a case that can install up to 8 fans. The price is below 200. But i'm not sure which model it is. Surely not prodigy.
