nice set up...

nice rig bro. I can't help but wonder about the movement of the air in your case. The 2 fans on top are moving air in (heat naturally rises so ?), and the fan on the bottom is blowing air out. Maybe it would benefit your temps to have your bottom blowing in, and the top 2 blowing out? Helped drop my temps around 5-10 degrees. Check out my GAMMA build and you'll see what i mean bro. Also, do you have an intake on the front? Like i said though, nice work. 6/10

I'm actually getting really really good temps. At 3.6 Ghz I idle at 18 c and max out at anywhere between 28 and 30c. I have a positive air pressure setup.

Yeah I've been seeing alot of people switching from negative to positive case pressure because it lowers the CPU temps by about 3-4c.
