I'v just bought an Antec three hundred case for a better airflow, and some extra fans,also a Konig 550 watt psu and some Ram.

I'm very curious what the better airflow will do to my temps. I hope I wil receive my stuff tomorrow and will let you know.

Waiting to hear how things are going for you. I'm hoping to see good news from you on this.
 
Yesterday I tested my system in a room off 82.4 F, what is qieut hot in Holland.
But the temp differences where amazing(I think). I overclocked my Xeon to 3.6 and stressed tested with prime 95. The temps before my new case where like between 176-185F (and still raising, then I stopped prime). But now my temps just hit 167F and immidiatly drop again, it wont get above that temp, what I think is qieut okay with this processor on air (who has a TjMax off 185F).

Also my PSU wont run hot at all :D

So I must thank you for your help, it whas indeed the case and the airflow, and not my Scythe cooler ;)


Ps: You guys measure temps in Fahrenheit right? Because I use a Celsius to Fahrenheit calculator.
