Hey !
I have almost the exact build but running alot cooler
28 C idle and with load 34 C max
I have the same case except in black
Make sure your HeatSink is firm against the Proc, I ran warm and found out it was not seated right.
Congrats on the build man .. looks damn good !!!

damn! what is your setup? I may have to pick your brain a little more about this in PM or on AIM. I mean, I pushed the processor down as I locked it in. I twisted the heatsink slightly and firmly pressed down on it as I tightend up the levers. I've checked other message boards and 69c load with a stock intel cooler seems to be the avg. You must have something setup diff?

I think you might need a different cooler
The place I bought my stuff at recommended not using the stock cpu fan and sold me this thing
http://www.magicmicr...nfo.asp?iid=196
It was not expensive so i went for it ...
also ...
I turn up the fan speed on the power supply to MAX
The cabling for the fans on that case require you to "daisy chain" them all to one output connector (yellow and black) that comes from the fan control in the front of the case.
There are 2 inputs for the fan control where power goes in, then 1 output that you daisy chain all the fans to.
Then I crank up all the fans when I game.
Maybe that will help, I admit I had to tinker a little bit.
But those are my real temps .. unless you live in the Sahara or something
