It sounds like a nice rig. Do you have any photos of it?

[zigarot]

Absolutely, had to take a couple of photos for you folks

[jamesc359]

Awesome. I noticed you've only got one exhaust fan. How does the affect your temps?

[zigarot]

I'm Gonna be honest, I never have the side panel on haha, I used it as a

soldering mat once and melted it, so airflow is great now. CPU never gets

above 60 anyway, GPU about 80. Open window directly behind it and living on

a hill cools it right down

You might want to tweak your fan curve if you haven't already in Afterburner.  We have the Gaming 4G, and it is the same board, although a different cooler, and I have my curve set to be off below 50C, at which point it goes to 20%, and then a straight diagonal to 100% at 72C (ten degrees below thermal throttle).

If you are at 80C, you are right up to the edge of thermal throttling.
