Replaced Stock HSF with Thermaltake Sonic Tower + 120 mm fan strapped in the middle (as opposed to the side where it is supposed to be on this model). Dropped from 55C idle and 68C 100% load to 48C idle and 59C load. Hmm. Not that good I thought. Then I opened my case and the temperature instantly dropped to 44C on both cores (measuring with Coretemp). My airflow through the case is not sufficient to get the hot air out. Will have to fix that.
It does not help that I have a 8800GTX in the case that gets hot when gaming....
