New case for ocing a 2600k
New case for ocing a 2600k
Hey there.
Searching for a case with strong airflow for a 2600k up to 4.2ghz setup, including a windowed side panel and DVD drive space. Only from this site: http://www.eshopcy.com.cy/search_main.ph...C1+-+CASES.
Shipping costs are too high in my country, so I need a good price point. My current case is a bad prebuilt model like HP 3500 MT. Please make sure the PSU fits properly. The budget I’m aiming for is under 75 euros.

There are various standards for the PSU's design. ATX is one such standard. The Zalman case you mentioned can accommodate ATX PSUs. Regarding the PSU you listed (Silver), it doesn't belong to any specific brand or model number, is there more detail you can provide? When selecting a case, the motherboard's form factor is also important. Is the proposed Z77 board designed for MITX, MATX, or ATX form factors?
The height of this mid-tower would be approximately 520mm.
You could install a mini tower PSU on this mid-tower if it's an ATX model. If not, please share your PSU's make and model.
Yes, optical drives are available in both a 5.25" and a slim (laptop profile) form factor.
1| Are you using the correct motherboard for this task?
2| If yes, then halt your overclocking efforts because:
a) the board doesn't have enough heatsinks for the VRM/power supply
b) it uses the H61 chipset, which prevents overclocking
For more details, see the additional resources provided.

2| If yes, then you should halt your overclocking efforts because:
a) the board doesn’t have enough heatsinks for the VRM/power delivery
b) the board uses the H61 chipset, which means overclocking isn’t supported.

3| Moving your prebuilt components into another case will only reduce your investment value.
Apologies for the delayed reply, but this isn’t the motherboard I’m using. I have a pre-built case with all hardware modified. My current motherboard is the ASUS H61 M-K, but I plan to use a new case and install a Z77 board inside. Likely an ASUS build. I’m considering a Zalman Z11 Neo case but would appreciate your advice on the height of this mid-tower model. Can I fit a mini tower PSU here? And is it possible to add a mini tower CD drive as well?
Hello.
My setup is an hp3500mt with a new case for mounting and adding a z77 board. Likely using an asus Z11 Neo. I have some questions about the dimensions of this mid-tower model. Would it be possible to fit a mini tower PSU on it? Can a mini tower CD drive be installed there? Please let me know.

The mid tower you're referring to would likely be around 520mm in height.
You can install a mini tower PSU on this mid tower, assuming it's an ATX model. If not, please share the make and model of your PSU.

If you're considering migrating the HP's ODD to the Zalman, that would be correct.
