Right now my CPU is running at 49-51 Deg C Idle and the system Temp is 45C (where is the system temp sensor on the MSI KT4 Ultra-SR?)

Im assuming since the chipset and CPU are in the same small area this is causing some heat issues, the from has 2 21db panaflo's, and one hanging in the middle to blow heat off the radeon (i left the backing plates off so the heat would blow right out the back off the card)

The heatsink is a thermaltake Silent Boost, I used to get 38-40 Deg Idle temps in my Chenming Aluminum case but it took up alot more space than this rack mount from work.

your prob getting limited by poor airflow, maybe a fan cut on top or something? or some more intakes/outtakes like those system exhaust blowers that screw into a free PCI slot?
 
ive got a zalman arm and 92 mm stealth fan i might try and fit over the cpu/chipset and make some holes in the case to get fresh air on the cpu and chipset
