I purposely bought fans that didn't have LED's lol - I wouldn't mind them but they cost more and each of the past 2 LED's I bought fizzled out after a short while.

Update:

Idle temps were: 39-41 c
Now: 36-37 c

COD4 full load 65 - 67 c
Now: a steady 52 spiking to 54

Supreme Commander 59 c
Now: 51 C

So, under full load the CPU is running as much as 13 degress Celcius cooler!!!

Vid card runs 2 C cooler

SUCCESS!!!!
