Are you wc or air cooling? If your air cooling, I recently posted the question about cooling the backside of the mobo for cooler temps and it was highly recommended. Nows the time to set up a mobo fan if you've ever considered it.

doesn't an intake at the back of the mobo affect the temp readings though?
wont it cool off the temp sensors and in result it will display lower temps than wat the cpu and such real temps are?

Never had that mentioned to me. I guess it would if your using the stock sensors. All of the responses said it would cool the processor so I guess it is a users choice. False readings or cooler cpu. I'd have to see how "False" the readings were I guess to make the choice and see the real temps to see if it works.
