Antec Three Hundred case
Just got mine today.
8C drop in temps. I figure 7C for the case and its layout and 1C for cleaning off all the dust lol.
My recent case had the PSU directly above the CPU/fan, forming a corner. Despite having a rear exhaust fan right in that corner and a recently cleaned CPU fan/heatsink it was running 50C at idle.
Now with the PSU at the bottom and the CPU/fan at the top with the 120 (rear) and 140 (top) exhaust fans right there the cores are at 42C.
Was 49.95 delivered from Newegg and it arrived in 5 days, including the weekend. At the time of this post its up to 61.95 with free shipping.
The twin 120s, for intake, should be here tomorrow and I'll put on some new thermal compound as well. Figure an additional 5C improvement. Try some overclocking again
