I'm getting cold feet when I was just about to order the parts for an HTPC.
I feel like the case is not gonna be cool enough.
Case: Cooler Master Elite 120 Advanced
CPU: AMD A6 7400K
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-F2A88XN WiFi
PSU: EVGA 500B 500W
HDD/SSD: ADATA Premier Pro SP900 64GB, WD Red Caviar 2TB
RAM: 8GB of ADATA 1333hz RAM from a previous build. (2x4gb)
I don't feel like splurging out a bit extra for some new fans just to keep the case cool when I can pick a different case that might cost a bit more but will do the job without replacing the already installed case fans.
Also, will I need a CPU cooler for a HTPC? The CM case won't allow any CPU coolers larger than 65mm so the options for that are limited aswell.
