I have an Apevia X-plorer case that I put my first system into last october. I have had issues with it, but nothing that I haven't fixed myself with a bit of thinking. I am wondering if it does in fact have good airflow.
My temps don't get too hot, the case sensor (which is right by the northbridge) reads about 46 degrees celsius while playing a game for awhile. I don't think that's too bad, but I don't want to rely on just one temp reading.
I have a 120mm fan in the back, an 80 mm in the front under hard drive rack and an 80mm in the top vent. My cpu fan shoots the air out the side vent, and the PSU fan (120mm) moves air up, away from the rest.
So, despite getting a cheap case, is my x-plorer acceptable for cooling?
Note: I have not experienced any lock ups or anything due to overheating.
I'm just curious....
