I currently play a lot of PC games, primarily COD 4. I currently have a Lian Li PC 61 case, which has 2 80 mm fans in the intake, and a single 80 mm fan exhaust. The 80 mm top fan is disconnected because my power supply is an EPS version which is longer. I am having a problem with high computer case temps. To fix it, I have had to install an exhaust fan that is extremely loud, almost 60 decibels, which pushes almost 88 cfm of air. I cannot live with the noise. I am looking for a computer case built for PC gamers, which has good airflow for keeping the case cool with quieter fans. Am looking for suggestions. Thanks.

Jim
