It's at around 30C idle and 56C Full load. I had better results from my old case with this CPU Cooler than i do with this one, the other case kept the temps down to 25C idle and 46C at full load. Saying that, all the cables and stuff in there restrict the air flow something rotten, when i can get them soldered and routed properly it may help. The instructions for the dozzens of cables suck! I don't suppose that having to have some of the cables strewn over the mobo helps- but there just isn't enough play in the cables to get them neat and tidy
I have 3 computers running in the same location (a corner of my room)... Doesn't help with keeping things cool at all... This part of my room is almost 10 degrees hotter than the other side of the room!

I have a 4th computer in my room that I only turn on when I am testing out applications and websites I am working on, which adds a few more degrees to the room when turned on.

I tell ya... Heat is our computer's worst enemy! Besides that, there's dust! :lol1: I ended up blowing out my rig the other day and the amount of dust that came out was scarey! It did knock off a few degrees though. My current temps on my main rig usually fall into the same range as your computer temps, DoG.
