Actually... i turned up the fan on the back of the case on high (that tuniq thing)...
I have a feeling when i re-apply the thermal paste (eventually) it will get much cooler temps because i did a bad job but it still works....
But on idle it was temps of 25C so lol, im just being stupid worrying I guess... it went up to like 32-36 on most cores... i think the first core went up to 40C a few times though after i ran a few video stress tests.
OH! your anwesering my GFX card temp question... _-_ um, i didnt change any settings on the GFX at all yet... all i did was put them in sli... So if my cards stay somewhere between 50- 75C i shouldnt worry? Can i turn up the fan speed then? lol when i game, i game for a longgggg time...
ABOUT MY CASE WITH THE TUNIQ TOWER! the side panel with the window... well the fan was touching the tuniq tower and i couldnt get the side panel on... so at first i took off the fan and then i was like.... "i like that blue fan -_-, u know wat! ill just turn the window around, haha...." And it works pretty good except now the fan presses against the side of one of the disc bays or watever u call them... I can still get it on there, its just needs to be forced on a bit... I'll take a picture of it when i get home if u want.
You have no idea how nice it is to be able to turn up the lights on your keyboard in the middle of the night... the soft blue glow makes you want to stay on it forever... I'm finding it harder and harder to go to bed early lol
