I think something is up with my setup? My idle and load temps seem very high for what I have!

Microfly MX6 - inverted rear 120mm fan to blow air into the case, front 80mm fan still blowing in. Turning rear fan around ( exhaust ) raises temps in case by a few degrees.
e4300 - running at stock 1.8ghz speed and voltages
Thermaltake Blue Orb II cpu cooler w/ Arctic Silver 5
Gigabyte ga-965gm-s2 F6 BIOS w/ thermal warning set @ 60C, using on board graphics
2gb Corsair ddr2 800 c4 - stock everything
2 Maxtor SATA drives
2 Lite On dvd drives

Orthos temps ( small FFTs to stress CPU )
SpeedFan: Core 0/1 = Idle 16/19, Load 36/36
TAT: CPU 0/1 = Idle 33/35, Load 50/51
Coretemp: Core 0/1 = Idle 33/36, Load 51/51

This is with my Blue Orb in my non-overclocked computer. :confused:

Just for kicks I overclocked up to 2.0ghz and ran Orthos again .. temps jumped up past 60C in TAT + coretemp .. and my BIOS started buzzing at me too. argh!

Is it because its a SFF and airflow is inheritantly worse than in a full case?
