    35 degrees looks great! Mine is almost always over 40, right now it's sitting at 42 in a somewhat cool room, even with the DFI mag-lev fan at full 7600rpm. I think you should market your latest custom chipset cooler :D

    I'm seriously thinking about pulling off my chipset fan and checking the condition of the thermal paste. I have a feeling its not of high quality, might put some AS on there.

    Humm Personaly I would have skiped the fan and designed an interface with cardboard to make use of that artic coolers fan. (to minimise noise)

    I highly doubt its actually 35 degrees.. It sits at that all the time, so I bet its just making up a number to put there, the sensor is screwed up, or something else is wrong.

    Update

    haha the hot glue has just failed. It fell off :p I'm about to glue a newer one (with sensor) on right now.

    okay I got the new fan in. It runs a steady 5000-5300 RPM and doesn't make a peep! It's still the same supercool ghetto setup as shown in post #23 :)

    Edit: Except theres more hot glue this time :D
