P4 temps too high?!?!?

I have a P4 [email protected] @ 1.6 vcore, my temps are:

Room 22C
Case 43C
CPU 47C

Temp seems too high to me but need some info. My setup is D-Tek Spir@l, D-tek Pro rad with shroud & 120 Panaflo L1A, Via Aqua 1300, tygon, & pure distilled water w/ no additives. I run them pump->rad->block->"T"->pump.

Any ideas would be really helpful guys. I know this chip has more in it but temps read high as crap. I have an Abit IS7-G & I know the Abit's are supposedly reading temps to high, but I'm not sure how high. Temps are from MBM btw. THX.

What's your vcore?

oops!!!!! vcore is @ 1.6

Actually seems about right on that board. You are using the DIODE to measure the CPU temp in MBM right? On my Abit IC7 with a 2.6C @ 3.607Ghz and 1.65VCORE my load is 40C. Your case temps look VERY high. My case temp right now is 23C, stays within 1-2C of ambient. My cooling is in my sig, my block is a better performer than the Spiral by far but the rest of our systems are similar. Have you taken the side panel off your case? I think you need better case ventilation and that in turn will help lower your CPU temps.

Yes I am using the diode for CPU temp. I have the chieftec matrix mid tower case, so there is no room for an intake fan in the front because my rad is down where they would go. I have an enermax PSU with 2 fans(back&bottom) & an 80mm case fan blowing out the back. No blowhole, I guess I could cut one, but I just got this case so I'm a little leary of doing it myself since I'd have to drill the rivets to get the top off to cut the hole. I suppose I've done wore to cases before though!! I'm not even sure how helpful a blowhole would be anyway.

Take the side panel off your case and see if the mobo temp doesnt drop.

Sounds about right with an Abit board. As a whole, Abit boards read temps way too high. I have a very similar setup and my temps are cpu/mobo idle 40/30 and at load they are 52/32. I'm going to be getting a new case this week (thanks nikhsub1). Hopefully it will improve my temps.

THX all, I changed a few things inside my case & got my case temps down to about 35C but my cpu temps are still the same
