Well I decided to tear the wiring apart on my PC and rewire it to get better air flow. Back in March when I originally put this togethor it was kind of quick throw togethor to get it up and running.

Well today I tucked all the wires out of sight, added round cables to the HDD's, CDRom Drives, and Floppy drive to try and get better air flow and get temps down a little. Well why I was in the rewiring i noticed plugs I hadnt used before that said "FAN ONLY" so this time around I used these for the fans instead of the regular power cables like you would use for the HDD, CDROM drives.

Now my concern is my case is 75 times quieter and its running cooler by about 5C on Mobo and CPU. This quietness has me worried. Could it be that I dont have something wired in right or is it because I actually used the right wiring connection for the fans?

Power Supply is a Antec True 430 the results right now it are:
+12Volt ..... 11.712
+5Volt ...... 4.945
+3.3Volt .... 3.232
VCORE ....... 1.552

I sure hope I didnt screw something up...does the readings seem right above?

Your voltage rails (12v, 5v, and 3.3v) are within spec. So, they're OK.

Can't comment on the vcore for an AMD64, don't have one yet :(
