Hi, currently I'm in need of cooling refinements. I've already made the decision that water cooling is too big of a risk for my lack of expertise in putting them together. I have a NZXT Apollo case that is starting to become less and less attractive to me every day. And, my Zalman 2-ball LED light broke, which ticks me off mildly. Also, my CPU is now 38C at idle/light load. It gets to 60C as soon as prime95 starts, so now I'm too scared to run any stress test though. However, it has never crashed on me, so that's a plus.
So, if I'm going to go through the trouble of re-seating the CPU HS, I think I should buy a new case and new HS. I'm thinking this:
Newegg.com - COOLER MASTER Stacker 830 Evolution RC-830-KKN2-GP Black Aluminum ATX Full Tower Computer Case - Retail
It's at the lowest price I've ever seen. And moving my parts to it and organizing my wiring should be easy with the slide-out mobo tray. So since it's priced so low, should I get it while I can? And what HS should I buy (I'm on a gigabyte ds3 965p with a e6600)? I'll need some new blue LED 120mms to. Probably 5.
Thanks for the recommendations. Peace.
