Heat Issues
Pros: -Solid -Not too difficult to work with
Cons: -Could be cheaper -PSU over cpu
Overall Review: The Cooler Master Gemini II cpu cooler doesn't fit, the Scythe Big Shuriken will fit for sure but will block a ram slot or two. Zerotherm 570D fits and cools better than stock cooler. With stock cooler I am getting low to mid 30s Idle and light browsing. Running IntelBurntest will make it go over 70 into 80s. Ordered NT06-E heatsink that is designed for this case will see after I receive it and see if it drops temps a bit. Also planning on mounting a 120mm fan blowing up into the PSU because the problem seems to be if you get a PSU with a big fan facing down that it will suck the air out and end up competing for the air with the cpu cooler which leads to cooling. Wish Newegg carried the SG01 Evolution which is redesigned and is made out of aluminum, but still suffers from the same heat issues though.
