This PSU gets mounted upside down so the big fan air flow is downwards, I am not sure ifthats ok or not, I feel it should be upwards.

If I OC then it will go beyong 60 ideal & at full load 80-85C,

I also tested another graphic card just in case that might be the cause, but no chnage in ideal temp.

Its surely either the mobo or the intel heat sink seems to be faulty, though my test images show it looks fine.

Now the only 2 things left are intel HSF & asus mobo.................cant think of anything else.
Ranjan since the time we started this OC journey, we have crossed about 3 months. My temp values which I gave were from the month of dec-jan. Now considering we have reached March, your temp are very close to acceptable one. Currently my data reads as 54-56 Ideal and 76-80 on 100% load. I'd say your system is shooting 4 to 5 C if you take mine as a point of comparision.

Now this can be due to environmental factors as well, My system is kept close to window, far from the television, and there is proper ventilation. Try this......take you system to another room and then note the temps, I think it should show a difference of 3-4 C.

Also I hope you are using TAT for measuring temps. I am attaching some snaps of my system to give you some relief.....
