I7 2600 3.4 HT turned off.
Asus 560 ti 9000 SLI
Asus Sabertooth P67 1155

Antec current pro 850w
Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro Rev.2 CPU Cooler

Fairly std ATX case with a fan on the front and back, the MB has a room for a 50mm fan which I'm going to get but I reckon it needs more.

The screen shots are are taken after about 40min of BF3, I'm getting great performance in the game, anything from 200fps down to 70 avg 90 on ultra.

Looking for a bit of advice, do you think the temps above are OK or what would you recommend to cool it down.

Would look at the possibility of a new case.

why buy a 2600 and turn HT off...when you could have just bought an i5-2500??

lol...meh...


also cpu temps / gpu temps look fine for 40 mins gaming but the mb temps seem a bit high

As i understand it there is a little cover on that mb to remove / mount a 50mm fan to cool the mb components?

you might wanna look into getting a 50mm fan to do so i guess..
 
O yea I knew I forgot to add something :D I got the i7 cheap. You are correct about the MB fan slot, I'm going to try that but I think I need more.
 
asus AI suite is typically off by 10 degrees on average from when i use it. Run core temp and cross reference them.
 
I added two fans and it made quite a differance, added one intake fan on the front and one on the MB. What I dont understand is BF3 has become choppy during online gameplay, cant figure that one out. Maybe they are not related

After the same amount of BF3 gameplay as the picture in the first post
