Hello everybody. I've been looking at the NZXT H440 lately to replace my Source 210. I've had some pretty bad throttling on my FX-8320 on stock voltage using the Asrock 990FX Extreme 3. I later fixed it by ''mounting'' a 92mm fan to blow on the VRMs. The problem is still present when I launch an application like AIDA64 and benchmark the CPU, though while gaming there is no throttling. My question is, whether I should go for the H440 but not install this 92mm fan because of the side window (the ''mounting'' is executed in a very ugly manner). Should I go for the case? Is my CPU going to throttle still?

It's the VRMs overheating, my question is whether it's safe to buy this case considering the overheating VRMs? Is it wise putting a fire breathing AMD system inside of that case? Am i going to be able to run the CPU at the same voltage without the fan blowing over the VRMs? Though i will try to run with the side pannel off and the VRM fan off. Thanks for the reply :)

PC specs:

CPU: AMD FX-8320 OC to 4.4 Ghz 1.25 volts
GPU: Sapphire R9 270X Vapor-X
PSU: Corsair VS450
RAM: 2x4GB Kingston HyperX Fury
Mobo: Asrock 990FX Extreme3 with ghetto VRM cooling
