how well does the cooling system work?

The cooling system works very well. Before purchasing the Dyson I was using a separate fan and heater (and both were bigger than the Dyson) now the Dyson does it all.

It's not an air conditioner... Just a fan. It has quite a few different speeds and oscillates, although is rather loud.

The cooling system is actually only the same fan that blows the heated air during the heat mode. However, the air is only room temperature as there is no mechanism for actually lowering the temperature of the room air. This "fan only" mode is enabled by pressing the "minus temp" button on the remote until the temp display reads 32 degrees, at which point the heater coil is disabled. The fan speed is adjustable by the remote as is the unit rotation, similar to the heat mode.

I just ran it for an hour and checked. Yes, it's fairly cool to the touch everywhere except of course the main vent where the hot air is being forced out, but even that was not too hot to touch on a medium setting. Hope that helps.

Never had heat issue. the air flows very well. air comes in from the front of the case and goes out from the back. and the original fans are high quality so you should have no problem with cooling!

Well, I have four fans cooling my system and when gaming I let them spin pretty fast. Don't really care about excessive sound because I'm wearing a headset most of the time. With stock fan/heat sink mine is very cool while idle, and have never seen it above 60C while playing some of the most demanding games. Yes the fan and heat sink could be better but for me it's fine.

Get a good case with good air flow. At least 6 fans. I have no issues with heat whatsoever.

The system comes with the stock AMD CPU, which is seems to keep these computers working at low temperatures under normal use. As for running the CPU at 100%, I would say that the fan inside would probably be sufficient, so long as the ambient temperature is kept at a reasonable level (I'm talking server room temperatures: 65-70 degrees.) Even at 100%, the fan at maximum speed should be sufficient enough for cooling the computer. The rest of the case has enough airflow to keep everything else moving well enough (hard drive, DVD burners, etc.)

I actually had mine in a pretty small, mini-itx build. It stayed reasonably cool during most day-to-day operations with the stock fan, between 35C and 50C--and that's without any other case fans. As long as you aren't doing anything too CPU-intensive, I'd consider the stock fan pretty adequate. Good luck with you build

That will depend on many variables, such as how hard you push you machine, the clock speed you run it at, the amount of air circulation, as well as the ambient air temperature in the location you are pulling the air from. That being said, my H60 does an excellent job of cooling my AMD Phenom II X6 1090T (Thuban) cool even while gaming and overclocked to 3.6+GHz, never exceeding 120F while playing BF3 or ARMA3 and just a few degrees F over ambient when idle.

It depends on the size of the area. You can stick a pc fan on it to keep it cool.

I used a Corsair A70 air cooler. Temperatures are comparable to liquid cooling. I am running a 3rd gen I5 at around 31-33 Celsius.

I use water cooling, but that's because I live in a very hot place. A very good heat sink fan combo should be fine with a good case fan set up. The unit does not come with and sinks or fans

Stock cooling will do just fine. I have mine slightly over clocked and no worries. Just make sure you have good air flow through your case.

Due to my setup there really is no stagnate, hot air sticking around my case...all the hot air goes directly out the back. I do know that since using this card, my computer IS a LOT quieter and IS cooler based on temp reading since I placed it in my case.

Can't help on that. We've only used it for cooling. Would be interested to know if someone has experience with using the heat feature.

Even battlefield 4 and Crysis 3 runs cool on this laptop. The fans become slightly audible, but it is a whirring noise, not a whining one. No laptop cooler is necessary. The keyboard stays cool.

Nope, it doesn't do a thing. If you buy this one you'll need extra cooling. Best, G.

Ryan is correct. I would also add that I have not had any temperature problems so far. Using a nividia 770 and a FX- 8320. Runs like a beast, can play all games with max settings. Lately been playing the witcher 2 which I hear isn't very well optimized and is very graphically intensive. Can run on ultra spec no problems. As far as I can tell the cooling is superb with this case. One problem I do have with the case is I cant figure out how to open the right side of the case so building my comp was a bit of a pain. You might be able to open it, I just was in a rush. OH and the dvd/cd drive compartment is too small so I have to reach in a little bit to push the button to open the drive. Still a good deal @ $60 even with some minor design issues.
