Guys how are my temperatures?

I have an Aerocool Xpredator case.

1 230mm fan on the front as intake

1 140mm fan on the bottom as intake

2 140mm fans on the top as exhaust

1 Corsair H80 CPU cooler mounted on the rear. The fan on the back of H80 is getting cool air from outside, and the other fan in the other side of H80 is in the same direction of the rear fan.

My Gigabyte 670 OC with a mild OC is 73 degrees maximum with about 60-65% fan speed

My i5 3570k runs around 67-69 degrees when gaming in BF3, it is not OCed but the multiplier is 3.8 *100 thanks to the Turbo mode on the CPU. I rarely see it at 3.4.

Am I safe for the time being?

I am thinking of adding a 2nd 670 down the line, will temperatures be ever get into the danger zone if I add a 2nd 670?

Also please note that I only installed the rear Turbo fan as exhaust on the motherboard. Should I disable it? Since the Corsair's fan is an intake fan right next to it? Maybe the heat that the turbo fan is pumping outside is being sucked a little by the h80s fan since they are very very close to each other?

If you leave it on Auto, when you game it will crank itself up to 1.40v which is way to high for stock..it will also produce a lot of heat. Depending on your ambient temps, if you lower your voltage, you might also lower your CPU load temps. I don't think your mobo exhaust fan will make a diff on your intake..your cards seem to be sitting at the right temp for BF3..I'm thinking your high CPU temps (they are high for 3.8) is the voltage
Saurk, unless you are changing the BCLK , then having no choice but to OC the RAM, there really isn't any benefiet to OCing your RAM. leave it at it's XMP

I have everything set at AUTO on my UEFI except i switched the ram speed to 1600mhz...

SO all i should do now is to go to the UEFI and make the voltage offset .035?

I will do that.

Also I noticed something guys.

My CPU is always at 3.8... Never gets lower when idle. Do i have to enable something on the motherboard for that?

my old 2500k would hit 4500 OCed and go to 1600 when idle as far as i remember.

Nope no luck. 

I set it at Auto and the CPU still works at 3.8 :(

Its alright though I am not too bothered about it.

Also guys i changed my Off Set Cpu Voltage to +0.05 and now according to CPUZ my vcore is 1.240 max.
