back to basics.
more air flow over the exchanger coils at the front of the box will lower your temps about 4*c, even more under full load.
here is what i did, pulled front cover off, strapped a Delta 120 HO fan directly to the grill, did it while the system was running and watched the temps drop. even with the heater on in the house tonight and motherboard temps increasing, the cpu held steady....
the 120mm is just a pushing tons of air over the fins, helping the internal fan, and i didn't have to change any settings to fool the onboards into full mode, something i have worried about.
now, with a changeover to R404a, think of the possibilities.
now you can maximise your temps without straining your Prememtia's internals.
works for me.
