anyway here's my casing. latest additions are the blowholes. the CM Centurion 2 case has very bad air-flow if i was to rely on the front and back fans. in fact i've disabled those front and back fans and it works just as well.

naww. i got the C2 cos it was 2nd hand goods. got it at RM 150. no scratches and all.

cut 120mm blowholes. gonna change the top fan to 120mm as well.

the case currently has 2x 120mm CM blue LED fans on the side panel. 3x 80mm CM blue LED fans on top, back and front.

i've currently disabled the front intake and back exhaust fans as i find the top fan is more than sufficient in releasing the hot air.

previously it was just using the front and back fan on the Aero7 heatsink and my 70mm YStech ~6.8k RPM fan. the heat build-up was really bad.

changed to SLK900U (got it for RM 100, came with everything and a 92mm NMB fan which i'm not using) and the temps were reduced but still not good. my room was hot in the evening and i don't on air-con when i'm not at home and furthermore it's always at 100% processing.

finally i managed to get someone to cut the holes for me and wow it really did wonders. in fact i even get to run at 2.3ghz with only 1.7vcore instead of the previous 1.775vcore.

as of now, the 70mm is running at 4.5k rpm and the temps are 41c (MBM5 reading) with 100% processing.

it's too tedious to list out the temp changes (day vs night, air con - on vs off, before/after SLK and before after fan mod) but the difference is great. less noise, less temp, same performance.
