Antec P160 is amazing!!

Just got this case today with 2 Akasa 120mm LED fans, although i shortly removed them as they where to loud for me, 1700rpm (30dbA) I am now just using the Antec fan that came with the case. It's quiet and it cools my CPU FAR better then my Antec 1080AMG case with 5 fans!!

(Antec AMG1080 w/5x 80mm, P160 w/2x 120mm, P160 w/1x 120mm)

CPU 48C, 40C, 41C
PSU 36C, 30C, 32C
MB 36C, 37C, 38C

The front fan doesn't seem to do much, might do for the video card however.

that's hardly possible.. 8C it's a lot. Even with mobo out and with a fan on it and you will not gain 8C. Maybe you reseated cpu heatsink, room temperature changed.. dunno, re-applied thermal paste.. There are similar cases, like 3700BQE or Sonata witch uses the exact same of cooling than P160, and I haven't seen such reports.

That's not a bad looking case, but doesn't look like it's quite as big as the 1080AMG.

the 1080 its not so big, but P160 is definatelly smaller..
