all installed.

Graphics card temps went from 68-82 to 36-45 and the new cpu is for some reason idling around 40, must have a bad hsf mount. I'll redo it tomorrow and see what kind of OC it'll do.

    What's the processor? My Q6600 uses a TRUE and with a 100% load runs at 42C. I couldn't tell for sure from the pics, but do you have a fan on the TRUE? It could be the airflow in your case also.

    its a E8200, and i run it with no fan directly on it. My e6320 with 1.4v never got over 36* so I'm sure there's a mounting problem or something.

    That's a good temp if the heatsink is fanless.

    You gotta remember that a lot of Wolfdales have broken thermistors on their low readings too and that you can't always trust the idle temps they tell you. Another thought is why not see if you can rig up a duct something like this on your TRUE. I doubt the one I just linked is a drop-in fit since it was designed for the HR-01 but it could probably be modded.
