Now I see why, that a 240mm fan in there? no wonder yours is cool.

Ive got an Akasa eclipse 62 with 2 x 120 fans in it and my mb temps are lower than my previious case.

As I have been told its to do with hot weather and paste needs to cycle and settle. Will see how it is after a few days.

Got it installed. I've put the driver in and getting some weird stuff from MSI Core centre. It's showing between 590Mhz then 2411, then 4233. CPUz shows two cores both at roughly 2411. Am I to presume that Core Centre was created prior to dual core and its freaking it out? Is there some better software I can get for this? Sorry for the Newb questions, but I'm a dual core newb. Idle is at 36 degrees according to Core Centre.
