Just for the sake of being accurate, the info I gave you before needs a little updating. The reason my CPU temp would change with the case airflow was probably because the CPU block was not seated well. Like it says in the procooling review of the RBX block, it was really hard to get it seated evenly on the CPU. After installing a shim and trying again, I got much lower temps. What Im reporting to you now is from the MB sensors and Asus probe, with the water temp taken with an Enermax fan controller unit. For a water temp of 27.7C, my CPU temp at idle (XP2400 stock speed) is 34C. Quite a bit lower than what you are getting. The case airflow no longer changes the CPU temp. Since your CPU block is reported to be better, there may be room for improvement after all.

The setup is

DD RBX stock nozzle
Maze4 GPU
camaro heatercore with two 172mm fans @1000 RPM
xp2400 athlon/stock speed/voltage
9700pro stock speed/voltage
Danner Mag3

Speeding up the fans doesnt do much for the temps so thats not an issue.
