Cooling=

Modded H60 1 x 120 rad in a push/pull config & 1 x 240 rad

Have just rearranged my case cooling to try to get better temperature on my overclock with good outcome my thinks
now have 1x 240mm rad and fans in front of case,fans pulling air into case,1x 120mm fan infront of 2 HHDs pulling air over HHds to cool,front rad is connected to a moded H60,the rad on the H60 is setup as a pull/push,pulling the air from the inside of the case/the rad infront of the HHds is inline with the fan on the H60 rad,also have two 120mm fans at the top of the case to expelling air out the top of the case.

Install realtemp (if it will work)....plus your looking at the wrong temps, look at TMPIN1/2, theyre most likely your temps.

They seem lower than usual considering (if Im getting this right) you effectively have a 360 rad (240 + 120 H60 Rad) cooling an already cool(ish) running CPU.
