Wow, my CPU doesn't cool very well.... I have my 3200 up to 2.6Ghz but load temp is around 54C and idle is around 38C and I have an SI-120 (taller verison of XP-120). Maybe I should get some Arctic Silver....
What is your case temps? Do you use the stock thermal pad too?

Hey. I use the thermal pad that was already on the stock HSF. My case temp is 26 Celsius. I have two intake and three out-take fans. I think you could have a contact problem between the CPU and the HSF due to the weight of the SI-120.

- The Venice should run cooler than that for sure however, even at 2.6Ghz.

maybe I put too much thermal paste on it... I'll look into it. My case temp is usually around 28C so I know it should be pretty cool, much cooler than this now.
