    Coolermaster Evo 830, vs Temjin TJ-09

    I'm sure many of you know now that I've been rambling on and on about a suitable case for my new system, and I think I may have narrowed it down to the Coolermaster Evo 830 (Silver) and the Temjin TJ-09 (silver, no window).

    The Silverstone Temjin is £23 more expensive, at £173.

    Which case do you guys think is better? Please, remember, expense is of no consequence whatsoever!

    Please bear in mind noise, cooling, and overall temperatures.

    Coolermaster bare grills side and front. With the best will in the world no matter how quiet the fans are logic dictates the Coolermaster is gonna be louder.

    Gives the dba outputs.

    I ahve read of quality build issues for Coolermasters 830 but these were on early models. I have seen the J09 in use with a Core 2 based system inc 8800GTX single card in and it was quiet and the quality was spot on. Not as good as LianLi cough cough (see my system) but on par.
    If I was in your position I would go for the Silverstone but I havent seen the 830 in RL only some of the reviews I have just looked at, so it is difficult to give a better opinion on the 830.

    Thought you had decided on the P180?

    For some reason, in the Madshrimps test the 830 comes out quieter?

    And it has better thermal performance according to that test.

    Thought you had decided on the P180?
    Nah, decided against that now.

    Noise temps are always going to diiffer due to ambient noise levels and ambient temps at the time of testing. To get a definitive answer will be difficult.
    So I think this will come down to personal preference in terms of appearence etc

    Between those two, the TJ-09 is better, but if you want quiet with great cooling then the Akasa Eclipse has no equal. It does it all with just 2 120mm fans and it just works better than other cases. Couple the Eclipse up with a Thermalright HR-01 and it's fan duct and you've got a semi-passive CPU cooler that adds no more noise to the overall system.

    I don't rate the 830 at all. It has too much open surface area so you never build up any pressure so you never build up any air speed. It's a whole bunch of fans pushing warm air around in an unfocussed way.
