I have a oc 2.4C intel clocked to 3.3 at 1:1 ratio. I was wondering if anyone out there has a wavemaster case and knows if it's a good case that can cool my MB and cpu? In my opinion I think that it wont cool my cpu and mb that good since it has only 3 fans (2 front and 1 back). So if anyone knows if it's a good case for oc cpus then please let me know.

Those temperatures are great the way they are.

No case upgrade is needed.

Thanks Nat but the wavemaster looks cool. I'm just wondering if it has sufficient cooling. I dont really have money to burn but I want a nice clean case and the wavemaster looks like the one. I just need to know if it can cool my specs with just 2 front fans and 1 rear?

As long as the air throughput is efficient it should be fine. Given that the case has fans coming with it, airflow should have been thought about in advance by the manufacturer. Coolermaster cases should be quality anyway.

Whats case do you have at the moment and why do you want to change it?

I personally think that two intake and one exhaust is a bad thing.

It's a nice case, but it needs more exhausts.

Avoid

you also have the ability to add a fan at the top of the case as well. That space can either be used as a blow hole or have the "front" usb and audio connectors located there.

I've seen the wavemaster that's been modded with side panel fans and top fans (with grill, not like the standard case, standard case doesn't have the 4 corner holes for the grill). I'll definitely order one like that if only if it was available. If you guys know of a online site that offers those kind of options for a wavemaster, please let me know because I do agree with Nat that a case with just 3 fans just won't cut it. Course I could be wrong sense I don't know how the wavemaster peforms when it comes to cooling your cpu and mb. If you guys know anything, let me know. Thanks!

Oh. My case...

Raid Max Mid Tower w/ 350 watt
More specific?... Blue case with a swirly acrylic side panel with a fan in the middle. acrylic top with fan. ... eh...can't really describe but anyways here's the

Fans (all 80mm fans):
2 stock fans in the back.
1 side panel w/ premium fan
1 top w/ premium fan
3 front, 1 premium fan (gay alien case fan) and 2 stock

It's okay for now but I want something with little to no lights and quiet. It seems like i'm contradicting myself since i bought all those premium fans but now I want something clean and quiet with sufficient cooling, like the wavemaster. =)

Anyone know any info about wavemaster's cooling???

Corsair 4400 Platinum Series. Nothing surprising.
