I already have 2 fans and a system blower on my computer but it is pretty hot 41 dergrees celcius in my computer and my chip is supose to run at 45 and it is pretty hard to do that when your case is that hot so can anyone give me any tips on what i can o too cool my computer down.

what you may want to do is check your airflow, what i would suggest doing is getting two 40cfm+ fans(80mm) mount one in the front and one in the back( make sure they are the same so the pressure stays neutral) then cut a hole in the side of the case and and make another fan blow onto the cpu.....

i really want to do it with out cutting a whole in the side of my case sine it is a brannew case

if you have got a free slot next to your cpu (above the agp), try using a system blower to blow air over the cpu.

i already tried to put it there the frivkin power cable to the mother board is in the way so i put some usb ports there.

wow i didnt know stacking fans on each other would make a difference well i have 4 grill holes in the thing so it might be enough when i get 2 more fans and where can i get a dremel to put a hole in the side of my case and is a windtunnel a good idea to feed air straight to the cpu from the side of the case and i ahev never put holes in a case before cause i akways have had sufficient cooling.

If you want to test how well the hole in the side of the case works then make a temporary door out of cardboard and mod that. If when you're finished you find that it didn't help then you still have the metal door intact. It helped me when I tested my ducting.

If you don't want to cut holes, just take the sidecover off of the computer. If you want super-cooling, stick a deskfan blowing into the opening. Should work well enough for the summer. Beware of cats, kids and dust bunnies though....
