I think I might have to see if I can redo my wiring harness a bit as well. See if I can shave a couple degrees off the top...
The problem with me is that I have three hard drives and six fans, so there's a bunch of wires jammed in there. I think I may have to get a larger case at some point (and at that point I'll put on the new heatsink).
Dayum, no wonder your idle's so high.
Definitely get a bigger case and heatsink. Try to find one with at least a 420W PSU or you'll crash a lot.

Dalton, you might want to try CPUIdle....

Simply running this lowered my case temp by like 5-6C so it idles
around 27-29C

My HDD averages 55 degrees, my CPU generally somewhere between 45-50. At about 50 degrees on my CPU, the fan starts considering whether it should turn on.
Is there a way to trick my fan into going on all the time when my laptop is plugged, while making it not go on as long as possible on batteries (since then I might be interested in saving battery power over my CPU).
