just a quick question......i just turned all my case fans down to run at 5v so things are REALLY quiet, however my system temps are now 33c whilst my cpu is 32c......... is it ok to have a higher system temp than cpu and is 33c ok for my system or is this too high......

Thanks.

EDIT: ment to be posted under general cooling, can be moved if needed.
 
system temp is the air inside ur case.
cpu temp is... cpu temp.

have a good exhaust in ur case, that might help.
 
it should be ok, When I had external cooling, large rez, I took out all my fans except the psu fan, it was nice and silent:)
my case and cpu were often the same temp,
 
Same here, no worries.
My CPU is 25C, and my 'case' temp is 33C. Really, I've not seen the case temp move, and I'm not even using a case!
