max,
Yo i got a shroud now!
I can easily tell me air temp...i just use the thermometer on my fish tank ( i just let the water go below the thermometer and wait a few minutes so as not to let the evaporation cause inaccurate numbers)
i'm right at 28C and since the air is being pulled from inside the case, i figure another 1-2 degrees higher...so i'm somewhere between 27-30 depending on accuracy...
Either way, it is the rediculous heat output of the barton that amazes me and baffles my mind how Cathar hits WAY above me, lol...
Cathar...what is your fsb and mult and voltage settings?
