Hi,
Recently I upgraded my system from a 3000+ and 6800 to a 4000+ and a 8800GTS. The 3000 usually ran 32 idle and 37/38 load using the stock HS/F and with the side of my Raidmax X-1 case on. I installed the new components using the same Zalman thermal paste i used for my 3000, but now my 4000+ runs a little too hot for my taste: 38 idle 43-45 load with the side panel on. Not to mention it sounds like a harrier jump jet take off under my desk. When I take the side panel off, temps drop to 35idle/38-41 load. I want to keep the side panel on, but retain the temps I had with my old 3000+. My cabling is fine, nothing at all in front of the cpu. Any ideas?
