Last Saturday, I bought a GTR GM8007 PC case to replace my old case which was also from GTR. I decided to change the case due to the old case being too small: Firstly, the old case was too small to fit more hard drives. Secondly, the thermal performance of the GPU was limited. <\/p>\n

The changing process was tedious. I had to unplug all the power cables and SATA cables, unscrew the motherboard, GPU, power supply, SSDs and HDDs and fans, then remove everything. Next, I had to install everything into the new case. It wasn’t as easy as I thought. Problems arose as some screw holes in the new case wasn’t large enough to fit the screws in, so I had to forcibly drill a bigger screw in to enlarge it.<\/p>\n

But now that the changing process had been done, I’m gladly satisfied with the result. I fitted two hot-swappable hard drive bays into the 5.25-inch bays that were supposed to fit DVD drives. Now I can simply plug different hard disks into the bay and be able to read or write data on it without using an external USB hard drive adapter.<\/p>\n

The thermal performance of the system also improved greatly. With the installation of more intake fans and a better exhaust design, the temperature of the hard drives dropped from over 40 degrees C to around mid 30s, which will hopefully prolong the life of the hard drives. The temperature of the GPU also dropped significantly. With an undervolt setting of 1920MHz@875mV, when the GPU is under full load, the power consumption is around 130W which heated to more than 70 degrees C in the old case. With the new much more spacious case, the temperature is only around 60 degrees C which I’m very satisfied with.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
