idle about 34 C (cpu) 37 (MB)
load (prime95 for > 30 minutes) about 44 C MB 42 C

Using a big zalman 7700 on max on a winnie 3000+ with artic silver ceramic paste.
The only outflowing fan is in the enermax power supply. the ony other case fan is a 80mm front sucking in.

Mind sharing your temp and config if you have much lower temps? I am thinking of putting in a passive chipset cooler with this setup, don't know if the current temp will give me enough safety room.

That's actually a bit warm.

My A8N-SLI/Winnie 3000+ runs at 29C idle, around 43-44C load, and that's with my winnie OC'd to 2.2Ghz. I'm just using the stock heatsink/fan that came with the processor, along with whatever thermal paste AMD uses on them.

MB runs about 29C idle, 34C load.

Ambient room temperature around 70 degrees F, or about 25C.
