    I was wondering which case has the better CPU and GPU cooling? Any temps?


    By merely looking at the internals, it seems the Sager has the better cooling. Same amount of heatpipes on both systems, but Sager has them placed a little more logically on the GPU (one directly on memory modules), more copper it seems, and what looks like better fans, not sure though.
