your case temp is insanley high. mine is 23C full load. thats with 2 80mm intake, 2 80mm exhaust with a dual fan psu. Low noise/cfm fans too. at that case temp, no heatsink is gonna drop the temps much.
the heatsink that you have is hardly better than the stock heatsink, although I would expect a 2-3c drop simply because the AS3 and the more powerful fan. Double check to assure that you installed the AS3 properly. THere should be a paper-thin layer. Not exaggerating, really that thin. Also, try investing in a high quality heatsink such as the Thermalright sp-94 (my current cooling system) and a controllable speed high cfm fan, or a heatsink such as the Zalman 7000 series. That will certianly cut your temps.
the other thing is that the ABIT boards read 8-15C too high. So don't be worried about your temps until you hit 65C unless you wanna overclock.
ohhh really? so even if im using motherboard monitor or a 3rd party reader i can just subtract like 8 degrees to find my correct temp
and do you have any advice for cooling my case, i have 2 intake and two blowing out, PLUS my fortron PSU has a 120mm fan in the back that pushes a lot of air out
