Kevin: Chilli Case

Sushi · 11-24-2001, 10:37 PM

Hey Kevin, I read your review, and was wondering what you thought about the case temp wise. Basically, I just want a Tualatin in there, and am wondering if overclocking at all is even possible due to no air flow. Of course I could make the fans on my enermax more beefed up to bring more air in the bottom of the case, but I still want a REALLY quiet case if possible. I already have a PC-60 that is crazy loud with my 1.0@1661. I'm just looking for above average performance with as little noise as possible. Any mobo/heatsink suggestions for this case? Not sure whether I should do micro or regular mobo, because all I need is AGP, NIC, and Sound. The other option which I'm totally fine with is buying a decent speed Tualatin (1.1+) and just leaving it at that. I'm just nervous over the air flow because it looks horrible. If it'll run at default speed stable though, that's fine. Ideas? Thanks.

Yah airflow is shit, but I do have an Athlon 1.33 ghz chip at 1.85v running just fine w/ a Swiftech MC462-A. It only has a "Top Motor" generic 80mm fan on it too. So that should give you an idea. I'll soon be watercooling that badboy so airflow will no longer be an issue
