Whose case is feeling the heat?

Looks like I need some heftier fans to keep my rig cool. It's turned itself off three times in the last few days which means the CPU is touching 70degrees C

My system is holding its on in this very hot weather, all on air as well

That's fantastic! Heard some great things about that case, are the wheels detachable?

What HSF are you using to get such a low temp on your CPU?.

But what is the ambiant temp of the air around the case, with air cooling that is the ultimatly determining factor.

I'm running seti@home tasks and my temps at 48 constant after several hours. Thats today though but ambient temp has cooled a couple of deg's since the weekend. I was running 50 under load.

Idle is between 37-39degs

Using a zalman 9500 cpu cooler at the moment.

My room temps went from 21 (Average) to 29 during the warm spell which saw my idle temps go from 34 (fan at 30%) to 38-40 (fan at 75%)
