    Help me with an upgrade plan.

    Nope, my house is generally not much above 70-80F unless its the dead of summer, where if its really hot it may hit up to 90ish, but that's quite rare. I assume if I get something like NZXT Phantom (the case I am currently liking), that should have plenty of cooling power for an I ivy bridge.

    Help me with an upgrade plan.

    Thanks! I appreciate the recommendations, out of curiosity would I need an aftermarket cooler? I assume the Hyper212 would be the recommended cooler if I went aftermarket.

    Help me with an upgrade plan.

    Time spent programming, currently around 10% of my time on the computer right now. I anticipate spending more time programming, up to 40-50% of my time, but for now, its more game playing and general use than programming. 2GB - GSkill F3-12800CL9D-4GBRL x 4 is the RAM Type I currently have...

    Antec 300 case causing video card to run hot.

    Yeah I have an evga. Maybe that has everything to do with it. :) I guess if my temps are fine then I am more or less complaining about nothing :)

    Antec 300 case causing video card to run hot.

    Turns out front and side are intakes. For some reason I thought it was an exhaust fan. Well the main issue is the horrible noise I get when doing any sort of gaming. Sounds like my case is about to take off due to the 460GTX's "small" fan size. I guess I am wondering if that's just the way...

    Antec 300 case causing video card to run hot.

    I am hoping someone can help with this issue I have with my Antec 300 case causing my 460GTX to continually run hot. I am measuring Temps from GPU-Z for my GPU and AMD OverDrive for my CPU. Here's some quick environmental things: Generally the room the computer runs in, is on average about...

    My H50 is not cooling like I expect, is it a case flow issue or my H50?

    My fan is pulling air from the outside and blowing it towards the radiator. So a quick ascii illustration. C = Case wall F = Case fan R = Radiator C|F->R I like to run cool always, but if 43C is my max then so be it, my Mobo is staying cool and that's probably as important as my CPU.

    My H50 is not cooling like I expect, is it a case flow issue or my H50?

    Not complaining by any means, just curious if I can make it cooler. Ambient temps are around 23C so its not super hot or anything. I am not overclocking and just going on standard stock settings

    My H50 is not cooling like I expect, is it a case flow issue or my H50?

    So I recently bought an H50 and built out a nice phenom x6 1055t desktop. It fits nicely into its Antec 300 case. However the temps for the CPU are higher than I thought they might be. I idle around 33C and Load is around 40-43C. I thought the H50 would keep my phenom cooler, as it's at...

    Need a cooler recommendation.

    Hmmm interesting, I am not sure how much room I have either, seeing as I just got the case :) Basically I am trying to max my cooling without breaking the bank (I know everyone wants to do that really) :). I'll look at the CM hyper 212 thanks for the recommendation, been seeing both pros and...

    Need a cooler recommendation.

    So I recently bought parts for a new computer and decided to look for a decent cooler which I could replace the stock cooler with. The particulars are: Using an Antec 300 case, for a phenom II x6 1055t, and if it matters a ASUS M4A89TD PRO/USB3 Mobo. Any good Heatsinks you could...
