Minor upgrades to my PC

Brian OH 99

Alright so I'm getting a set of new case fans for my PC and want to get a new case too. My current one is getting really stuffy inside even when fans are working hard and I just wanna get rid of it, it was cheap enough anyway.

Can someone recommend a good case for me? Preferably black and €100 at most. It should be as big as the Cooltek antiphon black (my current case) and well ventilated...thanks

when am I upgrading: Christmas

The Fractal Design Define R4 is on my wish-list for my next case upgrade @ approx €100.

It's a very quiet case while still keeping components cool, see Amazon reviews.
Might be worth looking at.

Cheers! My GPU is also running very hot when playing Ultra on BF4 and Arma 2 / 3....can I replace its heatsink and fans? I have the Sapphire HD 7870 XT Boost...it's running 85 degrees on games and is very very load when that hot..I'll go up around 50-70 euro for the new heatsink.

I was thinking getting this?

I heard if your idle temps were 50*C they become 30, and playing Cyrsis 3 on Ultra runs at 55*C.....the guy who said that on the review also said he has a stuffy case...like me. If I get this heatsink I probably won't need a new case considering how I only wanna new case for a cooler GPU. Also I heard its dead silent...

Your cheapest option would be to tidy up your cables in your current case and to add 2 additional fans to it. Also move the hdd/ssd to a position where it blocks the front intake fans the least.

A 120 mm intake on the bottom and a second 120mm exhaust on the top should improve your temps a fair bit.

The antiphon is a good case but like most budget cases it doesn't have great stock cooling performance. It came with 3 fans right?

Thanks - yep the antiphon came with three loud enough fans...at normal speed they're ninja quiet but don't blow much air in at all...when gaming and I make them go fast, they sound like a hovercraft...

That's the problem with most cases to be honest. Even a lot of the higher end ones come with poor enough fans. Nanoxia are the only company I've seen that make both good cases and good fans. Maybe Antec back in the day but they really don't make good cases anymore.

Corsair as well I guess.

Alright, thanks!

p.s: Like you said those fans will be back in stock in a week and a bit. I'll get them then.
