Post your current temps in this heatwave!

My Current Idle 45-47C
Current Load - 56-63C

Before
Idle - 36-38C
Load - 54-58C
 
My temps are always through the roof (blame bad cable management and cooling), but surprisingly hot weather doesn't have so much of an effect as cold weather does. I usually only gain about 3-4 degrees when it's hot, but I tend to lose about 7-10 degrees when it's cold.

Anyway, max temps with the current weather are mid-to-high-90s; idle mid 40s.

Also, I'm not actually at home and on my PC, hence the rough figures.
 
Currently sitting at, (after a few quick rounds of bf3).

Idle, 39c, 38c
Load, 72c, 71c

They were getting upto 77-76 with bf3, but i swapped my yate loon 1400 rpm 140mm intake fans, for two 1500 rpm silverstone air penetrator fans, good job so far.
 
before
idle 40c
Load 75c

After
Idle 45c
Load 84c

After 4 new 120mm fans in side mesh 600t case
Idle 27c
Load 65c

570GTX
 
Idle - 50, 37 (got a sound card wedged between them partially blocking the intake of GPU1, being sorted soon).
Load - 80, 75

The silverstone ones ive added are really good compared to the yates they replaced. Much better at forcing air through the hdd cage in my case, you can also feel the air travelling a lot further.

My cards sit a fair distance away from the front intakes, antec spotcool fitted as well to keep temps more even.
 
Only just put my rig in sig on since about a month. GTX 480 SLI 68c - - IDLE:eek: (room temp is 76F, quite rare for ANY time of year, and thats the "Cool" room:))

44C idle, and anything from around 50C to 85C, depending on the game. I usually use around 50 % and above for the fan speed. Putting the weather aside, I think looking at the idle temp it's time for another gpu clean.

Before: idle 40C - 42C, load (as above).

Silverstone Air Penetrators? Thinking about getting a few as the Fractal case fans are pretty weak even on maximum. Though the Silverstone are £15 each.
