I just changed my pc case to a Corsair 600T so I wanted to test my temperatures.

I run the latest version of FurMark with extreme burn-in option selected and my MSI HD 5850 with Zalman VF3000A external cooler reached only 57C on full load, while it should reach at least 70C according to my old results. While running 3dMark11 tests it only reached 43C, lol.

My idle temperature is still 38C as normal.

So, is this temperature reduction possible by just changing a pc case or my gpu does not work at its best somehow?
