Good info. The rise in component temps are definitely not proportional to the ambient temps in the room from what I've seen. Right now my E6600 @ 3.4ghz is idling at 30'c while earlier this week when we had that heatwave here in Southern California, it would idle around 42'c.

I don't have a way of reading temperature in my room which is the warmest of the house since my computer is like a space heater but I know that outside about 1/2 mile away at the Seal Beach Naval Weapons Station is only 16'c. (it's only 9:40am and slightly overcast)
