My neighbor and I cut out a 120mm blow hole in the side panel of my Inwin full tower and I'm now able to run my 1.33 @ 1541 ( up from 1530) and my temps went from 29C idle/46C load to 26C and 41C respectively.

SCHWEET !!!

Blowhole are cool. Last week my neighbor and I put two 120mm fans in his computer. We enlarged the 80mm up front to 120mm and put a 120mm on his side panel. It went so well I put an 80mm blowhole in the top of my kids computer and add 2 50mm fans right behind the CPU there just was not room for any bigger fans there. Anyway my kids computer is now staying even with room temp as is my neighbors. It has got my thinking about mine now but I just can't bring myself to cutting up my SX830 it really doesn't need any help staying cool.

ya blowholes make a big different, my roommates case is identical to mine expect his is still a virgin.. Mine has 2 - 120's 1 - 92 and 3 - 80's including the PSU fan. Our HSF are different but still pretty close in comparison to cooling. My 1.33@1.6 runs at 125 right now with a room temp of about 78-82 and his at 1.33 no overclocking runs 130 with the case closed up and drops down to 120 when u taket he side off... Tried talking him into letting me put one 120mm hole in the side above the mobo and a 92 mm in the top but he don't want me too... Oh well mine is running cool...
