Well I had my temps down to 36-38C under full load, but I wanted more. So, I put a PCI blower fan in and found a 92mm fan I had lying around. I took out the plates in front of my case where a CD drive would go. I placed the 92mm fan there and used a few sticky holders to hold it in place. The fan exhausts the hot air out of the top of my case. I felt like doing this instead of doing a blowhole.(although once I can get my hands on a dremel I'll try a blowhole to replace this) I then took all my wires which had been put right under my DVD/DD5 and put them on the one side of my optical drive cage. This has dropped my load down a lot and it is still fairly quiet. To make sure that this was true I fired up a game with folding@home running. I really think that people should start using games to test their temps because otherwise your video card will not be under full load also. This could add a few degrees to that load temp if you power up a really graphic intensive program.
My heatsink is a SLK900U/AS3. I have a 92mm Panaflo H1A on it.
