so I was sitting in my room thinking how to improve cooling while reducing noise and suddenly it hit me. Why not use the air conditioning went that is right next to my desk. So I lengthened the hoses on my water cooling rig by like a foot and put the radiator face down right on top of the vent. Voila, the temps just plummeted. My old load temps were 47 load for 2.6ghz at 1.85 volts and the new one's are 37 load at 2.7ghz and 1.95volts. this is simply great and didn't even cost me any money.
Oh BTW with these lowered temps I voltmodded my Radeon 9800pro and now the core is up to 492!!! (and its and r360) perfectly stable. This is up from 459 stable before. Man this is like a free upgrade (at least till winter at which point the rad is going out the window literally).
