| I'm still looking and trying to understand what all is going on. The stock card on air without O/Cing ran 50-50C, so real gains there!
My CPU seems to have picked up approximately 3-6 C depending heavily upon ambient, which makes it hard to pin down.
Currently I'm at 3700 @ 39C idle, but it holds really well and my cores are staying mid 50's and seem quite happy. my GPU also now idles @ 39C so a balance seems to try to assert it self in the loop.
Going with the jacket hasn't hurt me, that much seems pretty clear... but the journey was not without obstacles which I will relate in a more formal setting..LOL
OH! I used Koolance thermal paste on my CPU, will have to go back to Arctic Silver to check that out as a possible cause of the temp going up a bit, I'm pretty sure it's right around 3C in cost at idle and I think less under load...still looking, nothing certain as yet..":O}
Who makes the best thermal paste these days anyway?
