ah same case as me then, have you replaced the fans?

no, but I moved the one from the bay down.

no, but I moved the one from the bay down.

for some odd reason the rear fan in mine decided to go haywire like a week after I got the case and ran at full RPM no matter what the heat was, tried everything to fix it but I just decided to replace all the case fans with silent ones

New Build:
ASUS M5A97
AMD FX 8320 Vishera 3.5 Ghz 8 Core
Sapphire Radeon 7870 2GB Ghz OC Edition
CoolerMaster Seidon 120XL Cooler
Corsair 850W Modular PSU
12GB Corsair Vengence 1600 RAM
Corsair Force 120GB SSD
Recycling my old Cooler Master HAF case, and my old 2TB 7200 RPM HDD's, same with optical drives

Don't bother bugging me about 8 cores never being used, I already have a plan to utilize the last two cores nearly full time, I needed a 6 or 8 core, and the 8 core wasn't too much more so I decided to forget it and grab it.

what what the hell
You don't need 850 watts

ik, I got it because I plan on upgrading the gpu later, and the PSU I'm using atm had to be replaced so I figured why not leave myself room so i don't need a new one when I grab a new gpu

It's overkill. You lose a stuffton of efficiency if your psu capacity isn't utilized

I'll be grabbing my new GPU within a month, there's no point in buying two PSU's

going a bit overboard with the memory and the cpu

He didn't mention that it's a prebuilt and it costs $2300

Looks more like GPU sag to me. Perfectly normal.

It is mostly this, but I also took the picture before i had the side panels on all the way, and i took the picture before i adjusted all the cables to get it to look good. It still sags a little because of the massive cooler on the card, but it isn't crooked. Though i am thinking of water cooling the cpu and gpu in the future so i dont have to worry about the card sagging.

I will post another picture when i get back home tomorrow with the better cable management. I still need some RAM for my pc.

56C isn't hot at all, especially for a GTX 560.
But you can;
Get better fans in your case.
Get a better case with better air flow.
Newer GPU.
Underclock it.

I suggest just leaving it alone since it's not that big of a deal.

Hey, can somebody recommend a video editing program that's free? Anything that can export a video to something small would be good.
