Good setup guys.

Those 5870 are damn hot atm and may be the speed crown for awhile too.

Love the Corsair 800d my previous case Cosmos 1000 was nice but temp issues caused me to think about change and when Corsair showed off the 800D a few months back I thought thats my future case.
Hybrid,
What are your temps like now? My high temps is the reason why I'm changing to another case as well.

Well its got great cooling and overclocking potential but it needs a lot of tweaking.Its not as troublefree and easy to use as an Asus mobo which I usually buy.

Doc...my temps are fine now with the 800D/H50 combo previously my temps hovered around 45c idle in the Cosmos nice case but brutal on venting heat out it was like a convection oven it just sat. The 800D is just awesome man the temp around 39c and the air flow is nice the load temps have dropped significantly as well. hope that helps.
