So i recently got a new build
Asus Sabertooth X58
6 GB OCZ Platinium 1600 MHz Tripple channel
HAF-X
Noctua D14
EVGA GTX580 SC
i7 950
120 GB Corsair SSD
2 x 1 TB WD
Corsair HX1000
I must say that i am extremly pleased with the ammount of airflow the HAF-X + the Noctua CPU cooler manages.
I have 2 x 200mm CM fans at the top aswell, and my idle temps are 32-35, and load are not even 50 in games such as WoW, Metro and Just Cause 2. I tried running Prime95 for 30 minutes and the CPU managed to get to 60. Very satisfied considering my old QX6700 ran as hot as 75. I am using CoreTemp to monitor as i was told it was somewhat reliable. Room temp is 22 degrees.
My graphics card on the other hand, runs at around 85 in games. I have the GPU air duct on that came with the case, aswell as a 120 mm fan in there.
I know the 400 and 500 series run hot, so should i worry about 85? I usually have quite long play sessions.
