Just thought I would report my findings...
since a case can make a huge difference in cooling
... it isnt just the Heatsink/FAN that lowers temps.
CPU temps on my 1.4G were in the 51-55 C range.
Bought a new Antec SX800 series case...
now my CPU temps are avg 44 C !!
This case is very roomy allowing for lots of good air circulation. It came with 2 fans in the rear and I added one 80mm sunon in the front (intake)... now my T-bird 1.4 @1.6 w/SK6 w/27cfm fan is running at 44-46 degrees.
Nice case!
