Right now with window open and case temp of only 23*c (temp sensor seems out, it's about 10*c by the window...) I can Fold/OCCT/Prime/Game as much as I want, but seeing as I don't like my hands turning blue I keep the window pulled shut. This instantly increases the temp in the case and then I lose my stability...noticably with voltages going, then crashes/reboots!

What particular parts would people recommend for extra cooling/heatinks to be attached? I'm building a caseless testbench so I'll be able to get closer in to the motherboard and use my 'OPT Sensor@ temp sensors from my Striker Extreme on the Maximus to read these temps correctly around the NB and CPU area!

what are you running right now for a case and air flow? i have my mcr320 YL SH push/pull at the bottom along with my mcr220 YL SH push/pull at lower then normal air flow through my fan controller (remember these are the SH series) and i'm having no problems... also, no side panels on the case. could this be why mine seems to be stable while others are having problems?
