Now I see why, that a 240mm fan in there? no wonder yours is cool.

Ive got an Akasa eclipse 62 with 2 x 120 fans in it and my mb temps are lower than my previious case.

As I have been told its to do with hot weather and paste needs to cycle and settle. Will see how it is after a few days.

iv'e got the akasa case as well but with three 120 mm fans modded

That does seem high for idle, are u using the zalman paste? might just need to bed in same as mine but reseating might do it

End of panic, installed the dual core optimiser and everything now seems back to normal with core centre, just showing a steady 2411mhz

How have u modded your case to get 3 fans in there, have u got one on top blowing out?

a rather bizzare solution i'm afraid because i went sli the temps inside my case went quite high ,so my solution was to screw to akasa 120mm fans together and place them on the exhaust. i wasn't sure if they would interfere with each other but putting them on a fan controller i'm able to balance them together if i put my hand at the back you can feel the sweetspot when they are both pulling together. i managed to drop the case temps by about another eight centigrade , i wanted to post a thread on this bizzare solution but i don't know how to put images on here yet? yes reseated idleing at low 40's now i'm still not entirely happy maybe i will have another go :)
