Greensman: What is your ambient temperature, or do you have watercooling? I mean 22c seems rather low if you have aircooling.
Check voltages with either CPU-Z or SpeedFan.

shaffaaf: Sorry, I can't help but be smug right now
He_Man: Unlucky, that's probably because they've sold the last one of that case before you placed yours - the website doesn't update the stock automatically (because it's crap).
Looks like it's market price for your case then...
As you can see, normally the case isn't that cheap

Right now it's about 70F. It stays between 68F-76F most of the year inside my house. Me likes it cool. ;)
Here's a screeny of the program you requested. :D

Ohh, you have the speedstep technology(EIST) turned on in your BIOS, or have you downclocked your CPU? Apparently it also lowers your vcore at the same time. Nice temperatures tbh, how is it under stress?

Greensman,
Everything looks good. Don't worry about the MB temp mine goes back and forth between 37 to 42C. Did you mod the North and South Bridge's heat sinks with Arctic Sulver 5?
A 40mm fan screws right to the heatsink, no problem. Mine still cools better than it did with a heat tube cooler from Evercool or a Thermaltake on the NorthBridge!
Voltages look very good as well!
Best Regards,
Russ

Well, it has a black front rather than silver (just cosmetic) but it's made of steel rather than Aluminium, so it weighs twice as much.
That's a crap deal though, you may as well get one here

No not at all, the Blackline version cools just as well as the Aluminium.

I know that my vote doesn't count here He_Man but I like the red/black look better than the blue/black. EVERYONE has blue but I see very few red/black out there. hehehe. Of course I'm a Red Raider so that has something do to with it. lol. :P And for only £1.88 more it's not that big of a deal....... :P

Yes i agree. The red/black combination is more effective. I'll wait for OCUK to reply to me and if they say it was out of stock i won't use them again unless i am dead sure that it's in stock. I will then buy the red/black combination.

Well then, let's see.
CPUZ: Non-diagnostic Information about your specific CPU, Motherboard and RAM
Everest: General purpose information tool - tells you almost everything. Not free - you either buy it or um, "be a bit cheeky"
Speedfan: A free temperature and fan speed monitoring software. Basic, but gets you by.
Sisoftware Sandra: A comprehensive benchmarking and information tool.

LOL guys, i looked threw that "Computer Stupidities" website and i challenge someone to beat this one,
About a year ago, a customer from Roswell, NM, called in to place an order. To break the ice, I jokingly asked if he or any of his neighbors had seen any aliens lately. The guy laughed and proceeded to tell me all about the crazies (his word, not mine) that not only live in Roswell but who come on vacation there in hopes of seeing a UFO themselves. As he talked, I processed the order, and the last bit of information I needed to complete it was the guy's email address for marketing purposes.
Customer: "Email! I won't have anything to do with that Internet or modems of any sort! You should be careful about those. Don't you know that once you install a modem, the government can look into your computer and watch everything you do? That's why every night before I go to bed, I turn the monitor to the wall."

GM, no overclocking done I see.
Will, how can you stand that case? lol
You guys know how much I love the Armor? I still do, but I do wish they came with a window less version. The blue fans make playing Crysis in the dark a PAIN.

I can't afford new fans or anything else right now. I even had to cancel my Freezer 7 Pro order. I'm saving up for a new rifle, and I'm NOT about to screw with my case.
