New C2D build, temp problems!

Just finished building my new E6600 setup.

E6600 w/ Ninja Rev B heatsink w/ attached 120MM fan all in an Antec p180 case

Behind that is a Nexus 120MM fan that seems to be blowing cold air over the Ninja HSF as well instead of exhausting it out the back of the case. Side of the case is also off until I am 100% satisfied this machine is stable.

The 6600 is at stock speeds (2.4ghz), Core Temp is reporting a voltage of 1.3250V.

My idle temps in Windows using Intel TAT and CoreTemp are 46C(Core 0)/43C(Core 1) and 44C/41C

I ran Orthos for 5 minutes to get a good judgement of temps and they went up to 58C/56C. I am going to be overclocking but I guess I shouldn't with these high temp numbers.

Anyone got any suggestions on why this would be happening? Is the Nexus fan doing more harm then good? Did I use too much AS5? HS not mounted properly?
 
temps should be lower with that set up and at stock.

Just make sure you have the fan oriented the right way on the Ninja, and that its securely mounted. A lot of people don't mount them correctly! (read instructions)

I'd take off the heatsink and reseat it.

got a picture with side panel off? label your airflow on it so we can critique it.

I put the fan on the way that looks to be the only way on the heatsink. I am running the evga 680i board and there is like no room to put the heatsink/fan on. The fan is currently covering the first slot of my ram DIMMs :( Taking the heatsink off and reseating it, I will have to rebuild the whole computer.
