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

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Just check in your bio's and set memory voltage manually to the rated voltage of the ram.
