i highly recommend removing the RAM fans to provide better airflow for the CPU cooler. the RAMs will get cooled from the airflow flowing into the CPU cooler fan instead. trust me. you'll get better temps that way.

@anzenxxii that was for temporary use, now im water cooling my cpu, so airflow is no longer disrupted

what brand are the red 120 fans?

[therussian4340]

@revankotor78 Aerocool Shark Red Edition 120mm x 25mm

i like that case... you should over clock it and see how it cools

[therussian4340]

@rb26capri I will probably make a video for over-clocking when i install the corsair h70

@therussian4340 i wanna build a gaming pc for like around 200 or 300 bucks, but i dont know which motherboard / casing i would need and what ever video card would reach my budget, i already have a monitor mouse and keyboard so i would just need what i listed before a a operating system which i can get easily

I'm getting this case soon and was going to get the H100 but I think I might just go for a really good cpu heatsink, maybe Thermal Take Frio. I purchased two cougar 120mm fans that I was going to put with the H100 rad....I'm thinking 3 cougar fans at the top of the 800D with a nice CPU heatsink. Any thoughts? I would love to water cool but 1. I don't have the skills to set that up on my own and 2. it's pricey and I'm only going to be running 1 vid card w/ a 850w psu, i7 and HyperX 16 gb.

@therussian4340 what monitor u use?

[dimesach]

I have that same Saitek joystick. It is a pos.

RAM coolers are pointless anyway

[desertfox1792]

There is no intake on the front of the case right? Im thinking about getting this case and a H100 to cool my cpu. Might get either a 6970 or 7950 if I have enough money. Do you think I'd be fine cooling wise?

[abgersaurus]

how did you mount an extra fan to the bottom???
