Didn't know which section to put this in so I figured this was kind of an all-in-one type of forum. I moved my pc into a corsair air 540 recently and have been hearing some little cracks/noises. I think that it is just the case plastic expanding due to heat, there is a lot of heat in my case since I don't have a graphics card with a blower, it has two fans blowing air inside of the case. I don't know if that is what is really going on but I just wanted to ask here to make sure.
Case making noise?

I really like the case, probably the best case I've ever had for a PC. It was amazing to build in because of the dual chamber design and there is a lot more room than I thought there would be for the size that the case is. The thing is it only happens when it is either really hot or really cold in my room(the people who run the apartment complex I'm staying at for college can't decide between making it hot or cold), and even then it doesn't happen that much, just want to make sure that nothing is wrong with my PC. If you don't sit extremely close to your PC when it's on that you will never notice it.

There is good air flow in your case, try putting another AF120 on the top as the exhaust I think it will help to take the heat given out of the CPU. So far I think plastic doesnt make sound while expanding atleast not in my case.

It has a large acrylic window. These can sometimes click a bit as they expand/contract from heat, especially if your GPU exhausts onto it.
Also, do I see SP series fans in push/pull on a Hyper 212 EVO? How do you like them, and did they improve your cpu temps any?

Putting two in push/push I cut about 7 degrees off.
