CPU: Xigmatek Dark Knight CPU Cooler
GPU: Stock cooler (no pci slot fans only side panel fan)
Case: NZXT Apollo Mid tower (Rear, front and side fan, Cable management BAD!, no space in case at all) (Dark knight CPU cooler is 1mm away from touching my side panel, so air flow isnt greath tbh)
Can anyone reccomend me a good full tower case with excellent cooling? Budget £50 ish

is there anything un usual about these temps? If so what can I do to lower them(apart from cable management) such as lowering voltages and stuff?

Thanks in advance

Try reseating the HSF and make sure you don't put too much TIM on it.

Try re seating heatsink fan and make sure you dont put to much TIM on it? :S

Im only 15, sorry xD does TIM mean thermal paste or something? :S

Yes thermal paste AKA thermal interface material.

I removed alot of my thermal paste so it was almost a transparent layer, and now im getting higher temps than before, im getting 60C idle but my room is VERY hot, system temperature is 38C. Im getting a Antec 300 Three Hundred Black Case - No PSU - Ebuyer

Does anyone have any knowledge on this case? From the reviews online its a very good case.
All I want to know is if i'd be better off spending £50 on a [B]full tower[B] lower quality case or spending it on a rather high quality mid tower.

Thanks

The 300 is a great case. I have one of my machines in it.

You've removed to much paste. Make sure that you have paste in the seams between the base of the heatsink and the exposed heatpipes.

Thanks Slaymate, im now getting 38-43 on idle temps and not much higher when gaming !

Thanks
