Ok, Hi Everyone,
I have an Antec AMG Plusview 1000, and i modded (slightly) the case so it could take 92mm fans as apposed to the normal 80mm fans.
Ok well if any of you who know about this case and layout you may be able to help me.
I have 2 Silenx 14dBa Fans sucking air into the case at the front of the case, i.e. over the harddrives etc.
I have another 80mm adda fan on the side of the case sucking air in over a dust filter, and this blows air onto the agp and pci slots.
For exhausts i have a Zalman 92mm fan with the resistor, and i also have a Panaflow low speed fan, which is controlled by a front mounted rheobus to keep noise to a minimum, but is again blowing air out of the case, and it is noticeably more air than that of the zalman. Also i have an Enermax AX-485 (or whatever) power supply - it has a 92mm fan at the bottom and a 80mm fan exhaust, and these both run silently.
Also to help exhausting air i have an Artic Cooling solution on my 9800pro.
Ok, well is that suitable?
The reason i am asking is because i get motherboard temperatures (using Asus Probe V2.23.01) always greater than 32 degrees.
I know it is summer and all, but having just sucked the dust with a vacuum cleaner the motherboard temps dropped from 34 to 32 (when cpu is at idle). ANd now the temp is pretty much constant at 32 degrees no matter what.
However before when i had a NVidia 6800 (a massive card) in my case the case temps were about 28 and i thought that this would restrict air flow and temps would be higher!?!??!
But since changing the motherboard temperature has been as high as 26 degrees.
The CPU (a Barton 2500+ @ 2Ghz (10*200)) is happy to run from 38-52ish on a very quiet setting, using my aero lite 7 cooler. For instance it is now running 46degrees whilst typing this in a very warm room, whilst the mobo is at 32.
However even when i had a tornado (92mm) fan exhausting air, this made absolutely no change to the motherboard temperature, all it added was a hell of a lot more noise to the whole system :(
So i am rather bemused on what to do! Does anyone know where abouts the actual motherboard temperature sensor is on my ASUS A7V600 motherboard, then i may be able to get an explanation for any temperature.
Also i have 1 harddrive in the lower cage, where air is blown across the drive, and one harddrive in the lowest 5.25inch bays at the top of the case. COuld this be adding a lot heat to the case, should i think about cooling it actively whilst it is up there?
The system Specs are in my sig and any help would be much appreciated, (apart from any snide comments from ninnyhammer who i predict will most likely try and takeover this thread.)
Thank you very much for reading all this, and hope you can help me out.
Anything would be much appreciated, no matter how small

PS. I believe ASUS Probe to be much more reliable than MBM, as when i installed MBM once i got all weird and wonderful numbers thrown at me!
