Hi guys, iv managed to get my new i7 build to 4ghz but temps on a warm day full load prime for 12 hours plus are 90c :eek:, vcore is only 1.3v and qpi is 1.32 rest is pretty much default, im running a noctua cooler and have reseated 3 times with as5 but still high, im assuming my case cooling isnt good enough so heres a pic!!! fans on cpu cooler and rear case all push from right to left so 3 fans blow out of case?? any help as im pretty new to this would be great
thanks

right fan pushing into thecooler, left fan pulling out of the cooler and the back case fan pulling out of the case. othercase fans need to push the cooler air into the case so the right fan can push it through the heat sink.

yes thats how i have it,
basically the front blue led case fan is pulling cool air through the front of the case and the cpu and case are as follows


<<<< case <<<< cpu fan <<<< heatsink <<<< cpu fan
fan pulling pushing

if i take the side of it does run 4-5c cooler??
 
You could do with getting more air in then is there anywhere you can place another intake fan maybe in the 5.25 bay under your optical drive?
Also is your ram cooler not blocking off the air flow to your cpu cooler looks like it in the pic

As above, adding a fan in the optical drive bays drops temps loads. Or it did in my 2 cases.
