Running Prescott 3.4 and average between 34-36 degrees C at just under 3.8ghz at load which is where I typicaly keep my maching although from tme to time I let it go to 4.0ghz and the processor hits 38-40 degrees C under load.

Are these tempretures acceptable? So far I only have the Swiftech system oulined in my signature and 2 80mm fans bringing in air at the front of the case which blows directly across my hard drives. Was thinking to add another 80mm to the blow hole.

Any other ideas to make things cooler? Maybe a fan shroud between the radiator and fan?
