    - Settings: A08 bios, OEM fan settings, no undervolting, cooler is connected via wall-powered USB hub
    - Room temp: climate control is at 77f-79f
    - Notebook Cooler: NZXT Cryo LX (brushed aluminum & black)

    this is my most recent idle readings, max fan speed:

    the cryo LX has a HUGE cooling surface area. i just pushed my notebook back til my vents lined up with the cooling surface. the right side of my notebook is always cool, and has no vents/fans. what i did was i positioned my notebook a little more to the right, so all the air flow hits my vents/fans on the left half of my notebook. highest HDD temps to date with cooler on max is about: 33c-34c

    nobody else wants to post their temps? :eek:
