I've been recently built the below having used for the last 8 years my trusty a P4 3.4 extreme system cooled by phase change so temps were not a problem.
I need a little advice as you can see the temps on the new system are average any recommendations would be gratefully received.
Anthony.

"Cooling Retail cooling"

Do you mean stock heat sink?

Your temps are pretty close to each other and not too high so no worries there, buying an aftermarket heatsink -

Either of the above will knock a good few degrees off your cpu temp, if your that bothered about the graphics you could look into aftermarket coolers but they may not be worth the effect, just make sure your system has good airflow (good cable management helps).

That looks a pretty mean setup, and should be a fun overclocker :)
 
those temps look ok, but out of interest isnt there a lot of noise with that stock cooling?

i seen the lian case in action and with that sort of mega high spec i suprised it isnt like being in a jet wash.
like other guy said stick a good CPU cooler on and it will help a lot.

maiin areas are:

case
mangement of cables ect
fans
extras

as long as case and cables are good and properly done and tidy then heat can be optimal thoughout the case.

then it just a issue of fans and making sure tey doing their job properly.

extras are just things like CPU coolers/GPU coolers ect.

maybe post a picture of your system/case and that will give an idea of how well managed the case/cables are.
