    Omg!!!!

    I have the CPU fairly cool right now but the PC is acting like a space heater!!! With the door closed the case temperature jumped to 34C (93.2F) while folding. The whole room was that hot not just the case. One good thing is the CPU stayed below 59C even at those room temps Just having the door open 5-10 minutes dropped it to 33/57.5.

    Who cares what your case temps are as long as you have a cool CPU? With two 40 CFM Sunons in the front and rounded cables my temps go from 27 C to 32 C. CPU anywhere from 46 to 51 idle.

    I care because the ENTIRE room is about 94F while the rest of the house is at 80F! I guess I'll just leave the door open I was the one overheating!

    59 C is fairly cool?

    Er... seems like pretty damn hot to me. My case is at 36 C... while my CPU is at 49 C. That's pretty decent, considering that I'm sitting here all sweaty with a headache from all the heat.

    59C is the CPU temperature with the door shut and 100% CPU utilization for 10 hours. Is your temperature load or idel? Even the room temperature was 34C (94F compared to 80F in the rest of the house). At 80F the CPU maxes out around 56C. During the night with the AC set to 73F it is 51C. Idle it can go as low as 40C. Note these are CPU temperatures on a MB that tends to give readings as high as 10C too much.
