Jack, I looked at your PS specs at that link you gave, and then looked at your system componets you posted. In my opinion, your PS could definitely be problematic. Usually, the main problem is the power available on the 3.3v and 5v rails. This PS is pretty low (15A and 26A) with 150watt

Olaf, Quite correct- the chassis temp can't be lower than the air temps. However, in my case, I have a duct leading outside air directly to the cpu fan, plus two 80mm case fans blowing outside air in, and I removed the top 5.25 bay plastic cover to serve as an exhaust hole. Works great. Since
