oh ok. thanks but im probably gonna have the remove the fan that is located on the side panel cause it would be right where the cpu cooler would be and that fact that you have like a 2 cm clearance betweent the cooler and side of the case.

if i can fit a thermoright 120 in an antec 900 you should be able to do the same with your V8

well my room has very good airflow, the case has very good airflow(no cables messing it up) and I have all the fans you see in the video….

how you try to get it lower
which fans do you use and how many of them?
I dont do any overclocking, would that help my temperature?

Sikkyu says:

my northbridge runs about 50-65C

I have pretty good air cooling though, I have seen it as high as 90c before all my fans were in.

80-90 is fine, although I always try to get it lower.

Sikkyu says:

well i’m running 1.38vcore instead of stock 1.24

and really its not that high, i’ve seen stock heatsinks hit 50 on idle on stock and over 80 on load
