Iv000 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 If you mean driver updates then yes.Choose your hardware and download the driver.Though if you have older drivers installed I recommend unistalling them before installing new ones. Also I think you only need to update your GPU drivers, the CPU and Motherboard should be like they are unless something is wrong with them.

ginnyfizz Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 I can testify for the coolness (literally and figuratively) of the Coolermaster Cases - I have the HAF 932, as I was concerned to go for good airflow too. As well as for the kickass nature of the ATI 6950 2Gig card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iv000 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Also, could anyone recommend me a good PC case that has good airflow and has sound isolation? Also that it isn't really expensive.My current one, when closed, is so loud I can hear it with headphones on and while playing games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghogiel Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Unless you get one designed with sound dampening, any of the brand name ones are about the same in that regard. So unless it makes a feature of sound dampening don't bother. Dunno what to recommend exactly, Antec, coolermaster etc will have some cheap 'silent' ones. And look at your fans too, if it's a case/cpu fan there are really quiet fans out there that you could look at for possible replacements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blu02 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Check out Fractal Design R3. They're very cheap, smart and good looking, with sound isolation and decent fans. I'm rocking one for my current system and I'm very happy with it, eventhough I had to make some drastic modifications to fit the massive HD6990 :P For regular gfx cards there're no problems at all.

Ghogiel Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 (edited) you can buy sound proofing material as well...I've never used it myself. In my uncles sound recording studio he built an actual enclosure for his case for when he is recording, He built it out of scavenged MDF/chipboard. And obviously that would increase temps on heavy loads, but it is big enough that it has some airflow and you could attach one of those flexible duct tubing to the exhaust fan and pump the hot air out side the box. That R3 looks nice Mr. Bravo/ Edited August 31, 2011 by Ghogiel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iv000 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 The R3 looks really nice!Lots of fans, clever design and anti noise. Though here it costs 200$, the one I linked to is 100$.I'll have to do more research on this topic. Thanks for suggestions guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
