Hello community,

I have a rampage 3 Extreme in an Antec P180 (see sig for rest of rig) which seems to be overheating. After 1hr of gaming the mobo consistently reads (with different softs) 55 celcius IOH and ICH at 75 and 82! Asus confirms this is abnormal. All of the fan bays (4x) are equipped with 120mm Apaches.

I don't seem to get the hang of this... Some say case is too small :confused:, others need to increase airflow :eek: (no additional bays for that!). I am aware of cable management and air flow obstacles but it does not seem to be enough to keep those stock temps within normal range.

I would greatly appreciate some opinions/suggestions on this and/or some target temps for my rig!

Cheers for your input
 
Your 460's and OC will be putting quite a lot of heat into the case as it is, what kind of temps do 460 and CPU hit? Are these reasonable? Or quite high?

CPU runs at 37 celcius (push pull configuration as intake) and CPU only mildly pushed to 3.3GHz.
Am not near the rig for another 2w unfortunately and don't know GPU temps but I have seen some graphic glitches at times.
Not sure how to increase airflow without dramatically increasing noise. The GPUs are already very good at the noise job!
