i see what you mean well can you recomend where to get a good fan and heatsink and what type of prices i should expect ??

as for the vcore im not sure why that is up ?? i have no experience overclocking and this is only my forth pc but all these were built within 2 weeks so still alot need 2 know

i also just noticed again my core is running at 1.740 im not sure why this is and as for the 2 80mm fans in my case if i place one on the window and leave the other under the psu will this better the airflow ??

Yes, one fan on the windows and another under the PSU is perfect. Both fans must blow out. Check the VCore settings in the BIOS, it's too high now.

were will i get my air intake then ?? at the minute im getting idle temps of 61 degreees with the side panel on this is also too high

i can increase the vcore by 5 10 and 15 percent but not lower it in the bios im not sure there ??

my case is about 30 degrees so i think my cpu fan my just not be powerful enoughthis seems to become more expensive every day lol

I actually have the same problem. I had just purchased two casing fans. It does not make any difference to the temp but i am gonna try changing the direction for better circulation. The other solution i know is changing to a better n bigger casing. There is still one last solution to lower the temp when ur comp is idle that is by using software like Vcool.

Do them LCD drive bays work any good, got controls for multiple fan speeds and etc. Haven't really heard alot about them(they look great though, don't let anyone tell ya its not about looks!) Thinking about it though, wouldnt it just add extra heat, something else plugged into the poor thing ( if me mobo had as many things stickin outta it, as in it, would look like a sea urchin)
