Sounds like you have something else going on also
My 820 idles in the high 20's low 30's and full load is around 55
Thats with a ninja with a 120 on it
Also, open-case is still not really what you want. You want some actual airflow through the CPU area so the HSF isn't just twirling the same air through itself over and over. 120mm exhaust fan, stat!Originally posted by: stevty2889

I can recomend the thermaltake jungle 512, it kept my 830 out of throttling range. 72c is throttling point at stocks speeds, so you may be throttling.

I think that explains it right there..the ninja with a 120 is still one of the best heatsinks, the stock intel on the other hand sucks..I got the same temps with the stock intel heatsink..

With the 7000AlCu, I was getting up to mid 50's @3.3ghz, couldn't finish a Prime95 run at 3.9 since it got up to 60c+. 9500 took care of that.
