Hi all. After puzzling myself for a couple of weeks with the temps of my system. mid 40's idle. mid 50's full load with seti, burn in sandra e.t.c, i noticed my case at the front had some grills which, stupid me, didnt really go all the way through. So basically my sucking fan at the front was sucking air from within the front of the case already.
Took the front cover of the case off, speeded up my fans, and there, idle 37-38, max load 49-50 @ 3.35Ghz.
And all because i didnt notice my stupid case...
Front intakes are really important i have just learnt!
At least i can no longer worry that my money for the AS5 and the aero 4 didnt go to waste... sigh
Although i might go for the SP-94 this xmas. Has anyone used one of these with a blower attached on top of it?
