My temps are at 60 - 79 degrees!

Just waiting to sort out my watercooling loop which should help with the temp.

I am kicking myself I should have gone quad so much sooner...can't imagine what i5/i7 is like!

You are getting 60-79c on water? :eek:

I got 63 max when testing stability with IBT on High

Hoping to get my temps down a little bit as I've just received a few goodies. Pics to follow!

Mines about 70°C on IBT.

As promised. Hopefully the Typhoon will help the case temps as the old case fan is rather old.

Have had my [email protected] for years. Temps go up to about 80c with benchmarking but has been up to 95c before! If this is a correct reading or not i'm not sure

Ive had 3 hour sessions on BF3, supreme commander and starcraft 2 so all is good

Running 4x1gb, 400x9 1-1

Well I've fitted the Typhoon and the new drive bay adapter and the temps have come down a little:

Here is my new fan in its new home! Made quite a difference it seems:

Put another fan on the back of the cooler for a push/pull config. That will lower your CPU temps.
