@ Agent: Yup, it was time for a big clean out hehe, nice solid wall of dust lol
The EVO is a pretty decent bang for the buck CPU cooler indeed, alot more silent as well because of the bigger fan as you noticed.
They can be a pain in the rear to install tho, thats why i also install them while the MOBO is still outside of the case ;)
Fyi: the big fan on the PSU blows INTO the PSU to cool the stuff inside, and the hot air comes out the back where the power plug goes.
Not saying you should ddo the following right away tho, but next time you clean it out, take out the PSU and blow some air trough it.
I'd recommend to do that outside of the house tho, you will know why when the moment is there hehe.
About that shop you went to, i woulden't recommend going the for tech advise anymore from now on lol.
From the answere they gave you i can tell they have never done anything else but rip people off by selling them a whole new pc when they turn one in for repairs lol.
@ Amgers:
If you are going to spend that much money on a case then you might as well go for the white version of the case i got tbh:
CM Storm Striker (window is stock)
Why? because 4 smaller fans in the sidepanel will be very noisy.
Also they wont be dust filtered so basicly its like sticking a vacume cleaner on the side that will suck in dus like crazy.
Other alternatives for good midtowers are:
CM scout 2 advanced (Missmorph's case)
Corsair C90 (Hemi's case)
Corsair Carbide Air 540
That last one is a nice one where all the stuff you dont want to see is in the back half of the case.
It comes with a window stock as well.
Check it out here:
Corsair Carbide Air 540Mind you, i picked the white versions of the cases above, they come in other colors to.
For the reccord, if you need answeres to question on any of the above just contact me on steam.
Better to ask around first than to buy and regret afterwards when you could have something better for the same money.
