i only have 1 fan leading air out of the case behind my thermalright ultra, and i don't have the fans on top

heres what it looks like


i just tried opening my case, and the temp dropped for about 2-3c? which doesn't help much i don't think... :S

i guess ill have to get 2 80mm fans on top like you ace, that is if i can find some space to mount them =s

just another question, whats a normal temps for the system temperatures in uguru? Mines like 44c most of the time after the computer's been turned on for a while. Is that also high? =S
how did you re-fasten the heatpipe to the board after doing the mod?...i hope not the original plastic push pins that came on the board!?...that is what it looks like from your picture...i see white plastic tops to those pins...am i wrong?

you look like you have room for at least one 80mm fan...you can use 60mm if you like as long as they push some CFM's.

my system temp is around 30C...i think that sensor is close to the NB and maybe you do not have that firmly seated on the NB chipset...i also have a 70mm (taped to the board) sitting in front (between VC and NB heatsink) of the NB blowing air onto the NB heatsink...the only thing is that the VC is an 8800 GTS which gets damn warm, even on the backside...don't know if the that 70mm is much help taking very warm air coming off from the VC and blowing it onto NB heatsink.
