^^ Thanks mate. Sorry, I mean I got 2 Xtraflow 120mm and 1 CM Essentials 140mm for top mount. I didn't wrote it in table to avoid lengthy description.
Btw I'm going to rip off CM Hyper Evo fan and put both Xtraflows in push-pull configuration on cooler. Then will use Hyper's default fan as front intake. I don't have power hungry gfx so won't install any side fan for now.
Although I'm open to any suggestions for getting best cooling possible for components
Where can I get NZXT M59 Side panel only if I wish to do some show off

Hey guys, here are some statistics from new system -

This is when overclocked to 3.6 Ghz in normal mode and 4 Ghz in turbo mode. I've not disabled CnQ, C1E and Turbo Core options in Bios.
I want to ask if my temps (esp. CPU) are okay? I've Hyper Evo in push pull config with CM Xtraflow fans.

Sorry I forgot to mention. These were idle temps. I tested with Prime95 smallFFT and it rises the temp to 57-58 with 100% core usage at 3.6 Ghz.
Now what should I do to get load temps down so that I can overclock further? I want to get till 4 Ghz stable. I wanted to inquire if my temps (idle/load) are okay or should I try reseat the Hyper Evo with repasting TIM properly?
I've set the CPU voltage to 1.375V manually in Bios. No other voltages are altered.

considering the hot summer season the temps you are getting under load with prime95 is OK - to get 4Ghz stable Oc you may need to crack up the voltage to around 1.45-1.5v which will produce a lot more heat - you can try remounting the cpu HSF but I don't think it will make a lot of change and if possible remount the CM Essentials 140mm Top Intake fan as exhaust.
^^Thank you mate. Thank you for the suggestion about top exhaust. But I tried some other way, I moved CM Essentials Fan to the second slot farther from rear as intake and it reduced my temps to 4 degrees approx. Both SB/NB chips temp went down too. I think I can get it to 3.8 with this. Although next time, I'll try exhaust position for top fan.
I'll post some pic later for better reference.

I did not get this - rear fan should be installed as exhaust only not intake but a couple of pics would be good for better understanding.
Thank you very much topgear. Actually I have installed it as top intake to maintain positive air pressure inside chassis. Check this link -

Should I install it on the current place as exhaust or move it back close to rear fan slot as before?

^^Thank you very much buddy!
I moved CM Essentials to Top Rear and installed as exhaust. It brought down my load core temps to 53 degrees max when OC'ed to 3.6 Ghz (4 Ghz turbo) and running Small FFT on Prime95 for 15 minutes! I think I can safely push higher towards 3.8 with this setup.
Edit: Forgot, AC was on that's why there were low temps.
