Well this is what you should do with that 650D replace the rear and top fan , since the case is a negative pressure design.

best air to noise ratio fans, they do have led versions.

two for top 140mm

120mm for rear

[QUOTE="ndawgdrake"]The 650D doesn't have that many options to add fans since the side panels don't have any holes for them. What I would do is swap out the upper 200mm fan with 2x 140mm fans with a relatively high CFM rating. This should help exhaust alot of the standing heat from your custom non-reference SLIed 580's. I would then also add a CPU cooler from the list I wrote above. As for water cooling, I'm not really qualified to answer that question since I've never had a watercooling setup. I do know that if you were to pursue this route, you would need to modify (read: completely take apart) your sli 580's and add in custom water block hardware. Likewise for your CPU. The radiator would go where the top 200mm fan now resides. However, IMO unless you're doing some crazy exhibitionist overclocking, water cooling isn't really necessary. I have a 2500k with a coolermaster v6 gt cooler (set at a fixed 25% fan speed) and a msi lightning 6970 in a well ventiliated case. My cpu temps never go past 47c (remember, at 25% fan speed from the cooler) and my 6970 never goes past 64c.

Wow, never going past 64! My nvidia hit 71 after 4 hours of battlefield on ultra. Wanna get it to at least 65. 64 would be phenomenal

Thanks for the reply! I have a obsidian 650d. What do you think of water cooling. Does it really make a difference? Is it doable for a starter
