okay, my room to start is a wee bit warm just 'cause I have 2 machines running 24/7 in it, and both are high end machines. but the question is if my temp on my main one is normal. I just put a 2.8 in it that I got from kunakk and he got to do 4.1 ghz, so it's a good overclocker. the problem is on stock when I boot I get temps of 45-48 on the cpu, thats with a white water, so I'm kind of confused. my system temperature is 42, so I dont' know... is my room temp just to high and the water is doin as good as it can given the current temps. just nervous to start to oc with a temp of 45-47 on my cpu. o, to note, this is full load(folding)
 
your case temp is 42 WOW , i would either get more fans in yer case or duct fridgid air in from outisde if it can be had.

any idea whats 'causeing the temps? could it be there are no fans "pushing" air into the case? the closest one is the one of the rad.
