Is this your idle temps?
When I first turned i on and hadn't started browsing the web yet the CPU was 4 degrees lower.


I think I might have found the problem... I have the Zalman 9700 CPU cooler pictured here:
http://www.jail.se/pictures/2007/new...alman_9700.jpg. In the back of the case near the top there is a fan blowing hot air out. The Zalman pretty much lines up with it to blow it all out... I mounted the Zalman backwards. The fan built into the case to blow hot air out probably isn't having an easy time with another fan right in front of it blowing the opposite direction (back into the case). Thoughts?
