Sorry if this has already been posted, I couldn't find anything when I searched. I'm curious as to what ratio your case temp and cpu temp should have, if any.

I've never heard of any hard-and-fast rules about ratios. Your case temp should be quite a bit lower than the cpu, that's about it.

From everything I've read here and at other places, the average seems to be ~10-15 degrees Celsius between the two.
