There are a number of photo sharing sites on the web. Try something like imgur.com

how do upload the image? point to what url?
Re: Gaming Rig HEATING up, help please before it blows!

Re: Gaming Rig HEATING up, help please before it blows!
CPU is fine, but you do have something mighty hot in there - can't tell if that's a sensor issue or misreading though. What voltages/speeds are you running your memory at?
Re: Gaming Rig HEATING up, help please before it blows!
I thought the cpu temps of 69 to 78 @ stock was high, or is ivy bridge that hot. Personally, I would be thinking of getting some more air flow in there. What temps are you getting when the side panel is removed.
Re: Gaming Rig HEATING up, help please before it blows!
ive not tried to remove sidepanel and play - ive got nothing extra mightyhot lol
so u say cpu temp is fine??
man this is stressing me out now lol - i think from all the excellent advice you guys have gave me i gather firstly i will have to pull some more cash out for better case fans, silent to give better airflow? agree?

what makes you say mighty hot? which temp you looking at?
Re: Gaming Rig HEATING up, help please before it blows!
A quick google suggest that with a evo cooler people are getting around 65 deg under prime, http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/...ratures-normal
Try a gaming session with the panel off and let us know your results. It could be a case of your just recirculating the hot air instead of exhausting out and getting fresh in.

No, I'd check voltages first.

Temperatures #2, 4 and 5.
Re: Gaming Rig HEATING up, help please before it blows!
just for reference i plugged my back fan exhaust into pwr socket on motherboard, seems to run a little faster, the intake at front of case is not plugged directly into board (wire wont reach) but there u go, so a clearer picture for u.

yes i thought that was high, any ideas what it could be.. how do i check memory voltage? i can see in the AI suite as below if that's anything (these results are without gaming)

Re: Gaming Rig HEATING up, help please before it blows!
Just check in your bio's and set memory voltage manually to the rated voltage of the ram.
