Ok so I am currently running a mATX build using the Define Mini. I feel the size of the case may be limiting my airflow, occaisonally I see my CPU get very high.
Over past week I have altered fan placement and checked paste still getting same results.
I have decided I am going to try out a diffrrent case, by doing this it will open many more possibilities such as H100i or other cooling options which isin't really possible with the mini.
I will firstly list my set up, in the future and if needed I may change MB to ATX
I7 4770k
Hyper Evo 212 - 28-35C idle. 60-70C load
Gigabyte R9 290x 4GB Windforce (now this can get hot with some games and with the case being smaller and not a great amount of ventillation i feel this may be causing a huge temp rise in the case)
The cases I'm currently divided between are the:
Thermatake Core V71
NZXT H440
Corsair C70
I don't want to go to crazy with the case price so anything around the same price as the ones above I may considor, I like the idea of a window and generally the case to just look nice.
Can you recommend which of the above or any other case and what would be best cooling set up.
Thank you.
