Your case and CPU temps are *lower* than the temperature outside your case? That doesn't make sense to me? Are you sure you're doing purely air cooling? What are you using to measure your temperatures?

ure CPU temps cannot be lower than the ambient, physically impossible with air cooling, i think you need to check your temps correctly and double check, they are not correct

That's what I thought too. I'm guessing Hardware Doctor is measuring your temperatures inaccurately. Still, that's very impressive CFM moving through your case and I wouldn't be surprised if your case and CPU are near room temperature.
