I upgraded my CPU fan, so I had a spare Volcano II HSF. I detached the fan from the heatsink, and used it as a case fan (5400rpm's). I originally had a case fan in the front, so I put hte Volcano II in the back to provide more airflow. Here are the temps:

Before I upgraded my Volcano II my temp at full load was 58 Celcius.
After the upgrade my fan, cpu temp went down to 52 Celcius.
And after I utilized the Volcano II as a case fan, my temp went down to 48 celcius at full load.
