^^Nice temps. I get much higher, 38-40 idle and 44-46 load @ 2480 Mhz 1.4v. The major reason being the ambient temp in my room which is like 5C higher than the rest of the house. Is yours with the case open or closed? Mines closed and oddly even with it open the temps hardly decrease by 1C. I havent tried the mod yet, always been putting it off. I think ill give it a shot. Why dont you do the same, we'll compare our results.
