That's weird.
Stock coolers should always be enough with proper fitting and if you're not overclocking.

Unless you are buying Joblots of Dell computers, then they will catch fire running notepad

I have kinda got an old case.. Loads of gaming hardware inside an old case gets a bit cramped.
Should I get a new case then?
Getting a new PROPER case (not one of those 50$ ones), can reduce heat build-up by a whole lot.
If you have a cramped case, your airflow will be terrible. Also if you haven't adjusted your fans, they might be going the wrong way, if they are lazy at the factory.
You can really feel the difference, cooling wise, when you get a new chassis.

Well then, any recommendations?
Chassis wise? Uhm. I must admit, that I'm not that into which ones are great. I know that mine is awesome, generally the Antec Performance One series are great and silent, but I'm sure there's just as great alternatives out there.

If you are looking for one thats got good cooling like a gaming case, try looking for server cases instead. They have generally got just as good cooling but are cheaper.

uh no, my stock cooler managed to get the cpu up to 85'C. That's why.
Mine did that once, was a stock cooler but had been on nearly 2 years, when i took it off the thermal compound was more like rock, it actually pulled the CPU straight out of the socket when it was removed, was fun trying to pry the CPU free without causing any damage, been much better after a slightly bigger fan and new thermal compound

Stop turning these threads into Mac vs PC.
Erm... it wasn't a mac vs. pc thread? It was Aya vs My Feelings.
