Two questions..
Well hello again
after all the debates and such, finally got a new rig

Now I got 2 questions i'm not sure about...
1st - Outakewise i got the zalman 120mm fan on the cpu, also there's the 120mm outake fan adjacent to it,
and above all the powersupply's 140mm fan, so i got 3 fans all drawing air from the same area.
Intakewise there's the chassis 80mm fan and a 120mm fan blowing on the HDs.
Is this enough? or should I add another intake fan? (not sure where, but i'll find a spot).

2nd question, according to Asus Probe 2 and Speed fan, the idle temps for the MB are 42ish C, while the CPU is 27ish C
(after raising the fsb alittle to 375). is it normal to have such a diffrence between the MB/CPU?
I could understand the CPU running hotter, but the MB? (under load the MB gets up to 50 and the CPU to 40(ish))

Thanks in advance for any help

can you post detailed specs pls.

-wat is ambient temp?
-do you have a side panel fan?
-does you chipset cooling passive or with a fan on top?
-in my opinion the fans setup are ok but it would be fun some photos with that to realy see where they are.
did you do some wire management to improove air flow?

Sure
Ambient temps right now are aroudn 26c (81f).
yeah, i got an 80mm fan on teh side panel, that's what i meant when i mentioned the chassis fan.
Chipset using simple passive cooling, nothing fancy
i'll work on getting some pictures

for the wires, did my best , but the pata cable is sorta stuck in the middle..
