Do these cases have sufficient cooling?

I use a Antec ISK600 (mini ITX) in a cabinet with a 2600k and a GTX780. I also have http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009CO543S/ installed in the back to have some airflow.

Thinking about moving to mini-ITX

Hmmm, so it looks like S3: WxHxD : 268mm x 380mm x 382mm Prodigy: WxHxD : 250mm x 404mm x 359mm Albeit the S3 costs 2x =/ However the mounting options for both HD's, coolers, room for PSU and pretty much everything else seems to be far superior on the S3. The Lian-Li just seems like either...

Thinking about moving to mini-ITX

The OC is mostly for lightroom and processing images, which I see a real world benefit. For games, I just solved my min FPS issue by getting a new 7950 from the egg at $270 AR =/. Compatible with Alphacool 7970/50 according to reviews if I go the custom route. Would rather have a bit more...

Thinking about moving to mini-ITX

I have looked at the bitfenix prodigy, but prefer the options that the S3 provides. Guess I might as well wait and see what the S5 will be like. If I stick with air, one of the problems with many of the itx cases and even matx cases they don't allow for a 212+/DH14 size cooler.

Thanks for the recommendations AkumaX and Eureka. Got the new fan today and it has made a tremendous difference, as well as a drop in temps. Now I just have to find new case fans.

Upgrade fans on 212+ or new cooler?

Well got one of these on the way: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835553006 Just finished with a fairly stable overclock of my 2600k at 4.6 GHz @ 1.35v. Max temp was 82c running prime95. Hopefully I can bump down the voltage a bit, or up the speed some.

Upgrade fans on 212+ or new cooler?

Currently have a 2600k not overclocked with a hyper 212+ stock fans in a P182. When using lightroom/games, CPU Fans spin up loud enough that I am thinking about either changing out the fans, or getting a new cooler entirely like a DH14. What would you do?

So it looks like one of my monitors is reporting that its size is 25.3 in, and the other 2 are reporting correctly that they are 24 in. How do I edit those values or override the option in catalyst?

Cyberpower Computer Build Help

Don't disagree with mfenn's sentiments on the case side as I was trying as much as I could of an apples to apples comparison, although with 2 6950's, don't you think 550 is a bit on the skimpy side if crysis pulls nearly 500w? A quality 650 would still be reasonable.
