    Afternoon,

    It's time I moved away from my 775 system that has served me so well. However having not delved into buying new kit for a while, I'm a little out of touch and therefore in need of a gentle point in the right direction.

    Was thinking 2 front, 2 roof and 2 on the H80 given that it's a smaller case and will be tucked away somewhat in a corner.

    Ta although kind of re-affirmed my plan to be honest. The Corsair CPU cooler also changes the results of that article a touch as it is based around an air based CPU cooler.
