I am planning on making a gaming PC with the Fractal Define C mini.

My system is :
CRYORIG H7 Quad Lumi CPU cooler
i5 7600K CPU
Gigabyte - GeForce GTX 1060 3GB 3GB Windforce OC GPU
16GB Ram

I wan to know that the Define C mini cooling is like and what sort of temperatures i could expect. Also would a blower GPU give me better temperatures?

The Define C is close to the thermal performance of the Define S, which was tested by the same site I linked (bit-tech). Their result for the Define S (relatively the same as Define C you are inquiring), on a stress test (using an i5-4690K at 4.2GHz + Gelid Rev.3 Tranquillo + GTX 960): CPU delta temps around ~51C and GPU delta temps around ~45C. --> It's relatively similar with the Define C Mini. Here's the test results (of the Define S) for your reference: http://www.bit-tech.net/reviews/tech/cases/fractal-design-define-s-review/3/

On a stress test, the CPU delta temps (temp over ambient temp) would be around ~50C, while GPU delta temps would be around ~45C based on tests made by bit-tech on the Fractal Define C Mini (using an i5-4670K at 4GHz + Noctua NH-U9S + GTX 980). Here's the test results, compared with other cases, for your reference: http://www.bit-tech.net/reviews/tech/cases/fractal-design-define-mini-c-review/3/

Would the Define C get better temps and lower noise?
