Hello Everyone, first off, my system specs:
-1100 Watt Strike X PSU
-AMD FX-9590 AMD CPU (@stock) (Cooled by Zalman CNPS9900 MAX)
-2x R9 290X XFX Edition GPU (@stock)
-4x 2GB Corsair XMS3 DDR3
-Crosshair V Formula MOBO
-Running Windows 7 x64
And all this beautifullness is running in an Antec 1200 case for the time being.
I am thinking of purchasing a new case.
I have 2 Arctic Accelero Hybrid II-120's on the way, which should be here by tomorrow.
The main reason for this is that the stock coolers on my CF 290x setup are running way to noisy.
My main goals for a new case are low noise levels, and fan mounts for the Accelero Hybrid's.
I am not sure if there is ample space in my Antec 1200 to mount these extra fans, and other than that. i feel like bigger (and less) fans, like those found in the HAF X would output less noise from the casing itself.
My only concern there is that there is no fan speed setting available with the HAF X from what i've heard. So i took a look at the Storm Trooper from CM. Which does have the speed setting on top of the case, and quite good airflow, but i'm wondering if it isn't too much of a downgrade seeing as the case houses 1 front, and 1 rear fan less then my 1200.
I do love the aesthetics of cases, and especially the side-windows for showing off my hardware ofcourse! So function needs to be in line with form.
So, does anyone have any suggestions?
Stay with the 1200, go for HAF X or Storm Trooper, or perhaps I should take a look at something entirely different?
Thank you in advance for your response(s)!
Best regards
