Hi, thanks for looking-

I just finished a new rig, all parts are brand new. My intention was to go as quiet as possible, long term use of notebooks has resulted in having very low noise tolerances.
Here are the temps as reported by Speedfan:

System: 52C
CPU: 52C
AUX: 53C
Core: 28C

Here are the specs:

Lian Li PC60 Plus with window
Opteron 1212 @ 2.0 - I am going to OC once I lower these temps
BFG 590 SLI
4Gb OCZ Platinum PC-6400 XTC
Evga 8800 GTS 320mb - Stock right now
Seagate Barracuda 400 Gb sata II
2x WD Raptor 74 Gb 16Mb cache - Both with Logisys HDD silencers
Zalman 600w Silent Heat-pipe cooled

---Cooling---

CPU - Arctic Cooling Freezer Pro 64 - Quiet but I think my temps went UP switching from stock

2x Noctua 120mm 800rpm - 1 for intake cooling Raptors, 1 for exhaust dissipating GPU
1x Noctua 80mm - Exhaust
1x Lian Li 80mm - Top exhaust


Now granted, these aren't the most powerful fans, but like I said, I wanted quiet. I've considered replacing my 3 spare 5.25 bays with a Lian Li fan grill and another Noctua 120, the 1200rpm. Also the lower intake will be replaced with the 1200rpm. I will be going water-cooling when the funds permit, but I would like to start OC'ing before then. Pics are coming soon, but I'll say right now that everything in there is packed pretty tight.

Thanks for the help!

Around the computer is kept constant at about 68-69 F, and yes I did use about a grain of rice sized splooge of AS5. I'm also sure I seated the Heatsink correctly.
