Reaching 75c!

[VforVengence]

Hey guys, I've just started monitoring my CPU tempreture just out of curiosity and I was shocked to find that I reached 75c while playing Battlefield 3.

See pic:

This is my current setup:

OS: Windows 7 Ult 64-bit
CPU: i7 920 @ 2.67Ghz
RAM: 6GB DDR3 @ 534Mhz
MOBO: Rampage II Extreme
GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 680 2GB
PSU: 1000W Silent Pro Gold CoolerMaster
SSD: 120GB
HDD: 500GB
CASE: Silverstone Fortress FT02

See pic:

Any advice or ideas on why I'm running on such high and ways to lower the tempretures would be much welcome.

Just a guess, but I don't think a 140mm thin rad is gonna cut it for such a System

Also a 2 or 3 fan radiator in the bottom, still looks like a thin one though

Well if there is a rad in the bottom, its not getting any air, the case rests directly on the carpet floor, I can see no room for airflow down there...

Makes sense then that temps are silly

There's a good 3 inch air gap at the bottom of the case.

This is the size of the fans at the bottom of the case. There's 3 of them

I've also got a smaller radiator at the top right, covered by another fan. Both radiators are about 2 inch thick.

Have you checked your TIM

What are you using?

 

[VforVengence]

Haven't checked it no, but I wouldn't have thought the compound ran away

ok so stop the guessing here layout what your cooling loop has to me looks like a 120/140mm rad on top and maybe a 240/280mm rad on bottom.

what thickness are they?? what fans ya using?? yadda yadda help us help you.
