Gpu temps on the 4870's are about 70 and 60.. but when i set them to 60% fan,
about 60 and 55..

No problem there...


CPU temps with case side off on thermaltake armor series seem to be about 55C
idle.. but i'm putting in a Xigmatek HDT-S1283 cooler in place of the arctic
cooler, hoping it will help, with retention brackets..

That's a bit high... My E6850 runs about 42-45C at full tilt (running
Folding@Home), and my Q9450 runs about 43-49C. Both have stock coolers.

You may also have to increase the airflow through the case by putting in
more/bigger/higher CFM case fans. Concentrate on the exhaust fan first.
