Hi all, i am new here but i have read feedback about other questions i have had that were all-ready posted and people are knowledgeable so i thought i would give this a try. I thought this would be a good question to ask since these desktops are fairly new and people might have the same question down the line.

I have a hp h8 1039 with an aftermarket power supply and Graphics card it is no longer protected under hp so i was wondering if i could move the contents of the case to this:

I have a temperature monitoring software that is telling me that my gpu is running at 77 degrees Celsius under load and i know that is should be running way cooler but there really isnt sufficent airflow inside of the HP case. Also i am going to replace the cooling system of the HP to a cooler master Hyper 212+ and it will not fit in the hp case. This is the main reason i want to change cases is because of the heat issues and since i was going to move all of the contents out of the case i thought i might as well install a good aftermarket cooler as well.

So my questions are: is it possible to change cases without it causing too much problems? When if i get this case will i need longer cables or connectors that i dont have to power everything? And how do i power the extra fans that this case will contain with my power supply.

I don't see too much issues with this move. The case should come with data cables. The PSu should have the power cables. I wouldn't suggest buying the cooler yet. The case should have a significant impact on your cooling especially if you're not overclocking. If you find that it is still hot, then get the Hyper 212 EVO instead. It is the newer generation of the 212 plus. It is only $5 more expensive but it performs better.

So you think it should be a simple move? Sorry i had to leave for a little bit and i could not give as much detail as i would have liked to. I have a new antec earthwatts power supply. yeah and i saw the evo but i really did not see the difference besides how the metal contacts was different at the bottom and i really was not certain what PWM fan was. I was reading elsewhere that the motherboard supports a certain wattage for the fans so i was hesitant to get the one i listed below but if you think the evo or the one I posted below is good then i will get it. I was also looking at this as well which is the same price as the evo. also what is pwm fan and how do i connect the extra fans from this corsair case to my system? is it through the power supply or the motherboard. Also the reason why i wanted to remove the stock cooler was due to the fact i was going to remove the motherboard anyways so i would have access to the back of it and i would rather do it all at once then taking it apart again.

Yup, should be a straightforward move. The Earthwatts power supply does not have a power cord, if I'm not mistaken. So, you have to buy one your self.

PWM fans mean that the Motherboard can control the fan speeds depending on how hot your PC is. Better to attach those fans to the MoBo.

Though that might be true, fans only consume 2-5 watts each. Its not something I would be worried about.

There are 2 ways to connect fans. One is through the MoBo and the other to the PSU. If you connect your fan to the PSU though, it will continuously run at full speed. Also, you will need to buy connectors so the best way really is to attach it to the MoBo.

If it is GPU temps you are concerned about, a CPU cooler will barely help. I would much rather get a side fan (which your 500R will have).
