Im just a little concerned here due to reading posts of people getting 32C~ on a 3200+ winchester not overclocked.

My case temperature is reporting at 30C. And my cpu temperature is 40C I have a Zalman 7000AlCu installed on the cpu.


I was just wondering do these temps seem right considering the temperature difference between my case and cpu is only 10C. Full load I get around 53C on the CPU, while case temperature does not change.

Here is a picture of my case (not mine, stole it from newegg):

(I removed the hard drive cage and installed the drives in the 5 1/4 bays.)

the 92mm will be going on the blowhole on the side panel. Again, im just looking for some reasurance that the fans I have coming in will help lower the temperature. I am running some cheap ass fans and I cant feel hardly any air coming from them.
 
well i noticed a few scratches on my zalman 7000alcu :( . oh well.

just ordered a Thermalright XP-120 with a Panaflo FBA12G12U (the 38mm thick at 114CFM) from frozencpu. I splurged and got the fan tail sleeved as well. cant wait! should be here on friday will report back. :D
