    At what ambient temp? Mine idles at around 45'c with a ambient room temperature of around 17 - 18'c. Actually runs cooler than it did with the additional Extreme heat sink.

    My room temperature is currently 19.9'c, and my NB is idling at 49'C. I still think the heat from the top GTX 260 is heating up the NB though, so it could be lower I guess. Still be nice to know what your ambient temp is though. My motherboard temp is 38'C and that is in a HAF with a water cooled CPU.

    I'm just curious to see whether my system is running warmer than it should be.

    edit: just change my above statement, sun must of been shining on the pc or something?

    Idling at 48'c with 21.1'c ambient room temp, motherboard is still sitting at 38'c.
