Ok .. I ended up getting a Scythe Kama 120mm Bay Fan to improve airflow .. replaced it with a Akasa fan .. that had more airflow.
Also reseated the Heatsink with Arctic Silver 5 .. and ambients were 25 .. I think these are quite good temperatures with the Q6600 now...
Yep, its in the right position .. I tried both slots also, interchanged the slot selector. Nope, same monitor. Have tried two video cards already both of which work in my other system.
Ok .. this was working fine until an hour ago. It won't boot up and instead gives me 1 long beep and 2 short beeps which apparently is a video error according to the Award BIOS Beep code errors I read online as the manual has no beep error table.
All fans spin up, even the HDD spins up .. but...
Which one should I go for? Don't care about the cases, PSU is the deciding factor.

One's got the Coolermaster 460W PSU and the antec has the earthwatts 430W PSU.
And oh yeh, the coolermaster...
Same here, tried running my corsair at 1T .. even when its set in the BIOS as that, it reverts to 2T. Does that 5-5-5-15 too, so just stuck with 4-4-4-12 2T.
Had the same problem with my Asus a8n-sli deluxe 2.5 years ago .. ended up replacing with a zalman heatsink and modded an akasa fan on top of it to cool it off.
Thanks to everybody who replied to this thread, I believe a few pictures are in order? :)

Ya .. once I get the front bay fan, that's goin down to 61! :D
I need a new 120mm fan either ways coz I only have two in my case, one in the front and one at the back. The front one pulls air over the HDDs .. so that's totally useless with the cooling.
I also put in my old chipset fan...
