Centurion 590 Chasis and Cooling Issue

[creep88]

Hey guys.

My spec:

Cooler Master Centurion 590 MidTower Chasis
Gigabyte UD3P EP45 Mobo
Intel Quad 2 Core 9550
4GB DDR2 1066 Mhz Kingston HyperX
MSI GTX 570
Seasonic X 850W 80+GOLD Full Modular PSU

I was thinking to upgrade i5 2500k from my Q9550 and made some basic search about and all i see was `Q9550 is still a good cpu, o/c it and wait for ivy bridge or even haswell.`

I decided to continue with my current Mobo/Chasis/Cpu for now with O/C.

So, I need pro cooling system to push Q9550 over 4GHZ that fits my Cooler Master Centurion 590 Chasis.

Here's the details about my chasis:

Here's the some options and findings for me:

THERMALTAKE Frio OCK CL-P0575
NOCTUA NH-D14
CORSAIR H60 Hydro
CORSAIR H80 Hydro
Akasa Venom Voodoo 2x12cm PWM

So your suggestions for my chasis?

If the chasis is not avaliable for CPU cooler i would give up SSD upgrade and buy;

Silverstone Raven RV03 Big Tower

I have a Cooler Master Centurion 590 case with a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus with dual fans and it keeps my q9650 under 55°C at stock though and I idle around 28-30°C (ambient temp 25-35°C) I also have two CM R4 120mm fans on top, and one on the side in addition to what comes with the case but I would recommend going with 140mm fans but with the average big block air cooler only one 25mm wide side fan would fit. Also the THERMALTAKE Frio OCK CL-P0575 & NOCTUA NH-D14 are good but are on the pricey side of things I prefer the Noctua though as it might be worth its price tag especially if you like its colour somehow also the new Hyper 212 EVO seems to reduce temp by a few more degrees it should be a consideration also this page could be a good guide even though the test were done with a i7 860 http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/Corsair-H100-CPU-Cooler-Review/1427/6

Cool! I have the same board, better cable management could help save 1 or 2 degrees probably. Is the fan on top intake or outflow and how effective is the dust filter?

 

[creep88]

Then i'm gonna order Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus!

Im waiting my Seasonic Psu shipment, when it arrives the cable management will be great with it.

And I can say dust filter is effective.

Btw on which ghz o/c'ed your cpu with hyper 212 plus??

cuz i can buy THERMALTAKE Frio OCK CL-P0575 or NOCTUA NH-D14 if they fits to these mobo and case. i saved money with giving up i5 2500k and new mobo.

Looking at your pics i doubt a Frio or D-14 are good choices.
Your case is chopped/short at the top = spacing between cpu socket and top panel.
W) 8.27 x (H) 17.32 x (D) 20.08
I think you'd find the spacing kinda tight.
The 212+ would be fine = Evo better
I own a couple of CM cases.
CM 690II- 8.4 x 20.1 x 20.8 inches = plenty of room top end
CM 430 - 7.5 x 16.7 x 19.3 inch = it's tight top end

I am also awaiting a Seasonic power supply a x750 which brand is the dust filter

 

[creep88]

yep. just ordered 212 for my cpu and some noctua fans for my chasis.
