Reference temps (this is the last "race box" I built about three weeks ago):
1.333 AMD overclocked to 1.7+ (multiplier oc) runs 32 deg C at idle (75
deg F ambient room temp) and 35 deg C after "hours" of N4. I ran 3DMark2001
(loop) for 16 hours and got it to 36 deg C once! Chassis temps on this unit
run about 33-36 deg C, and case temps run 24-27 deg C.
**Cooling system specs: Intake-front (1), 90 mm fan; Exhaust-rear (2),
90 mm fans (one above power supply, one below in PCI slot area), Blowhole
(1), 120mm fan (side mount over video card area); CPU fan is Swiftech
MC-462-A (with Delta fan); Thermal paste: Arctic Silver. All power supply
cabling is zip-strapped to case sides/surfaces and IDE cables are 5-part
stripped, and shrink-wrapped (presents an airflow profile about the size of
a finger).
The only drawback to this system is its loud. However, I only use it as a
"race box" so with the 800 watts surround sound system cranked....who cares?
One side benefit: You can air condition your house with this unit in the
summer.....just stick it in a window near your race desk.....lol....

Long time no see, you running N4 these days or are you running in the
TPTCC online series ?
