Overclocked E6600 & P5W DH Deluxe with Incredible Results

So today I installed the HR-01 775.....I also installed some newer fans into
my Antec P160 case.
in the back a 120mm Vantec Stealth about 53cfm....in the front a 120mm
S-Flex 1200rpm 49cfm.
The HR-01 fitted in nicely and I attached a 120mm S-Flex 1600rpm 63cfm fan
to it instead of using the fanduct.
the fan blows thru the HR-01 towards the rear exhaust case fan.
case temps dropped to 29/30
CPU temps dropped to 30/32 ............BUT northbridge heatsink temp rose by
17 to 83 ???????????
After letting machine run on idle for 2 hours I ran Orthos small ffts for 2
hours and used Rightmark CPU clock utility to monitor temps
in the 1st hr temps went to 57 and never moved any higher.The case temp
increased by 1 and the northbridge stayed at 83.
after 2 hours nothing had changed..........this is about 7 degrees less with
what I used to get after one hour.
I should also mention that the room temp was up about 8degrees from previous
testings....it was a scorching 38 Celsius today.
