i wont be able to afford a watercooling setup until next year so am stuck with this for now. my heatsink is pretty nice its almost like an SK-6. my voltage is 1.85 and i have temps around 44-45 Load. i know this isnt to high but am not really happy with it. i have decent air flow (4 80mm fan) an exaust fan delta 38cfm and a ran on my ramsinks. the case temp is about 27C room temp is about 22. i was thinking about modding a heater core fan from a car and have it sit outside the case with air flow goign though a duct. any sugestions for better air flow?
you could always cut a hole on the side of the case above the processor and duct fresh air directly on it. I almost did this, but then decided to just go all the way to watercooling, but most have had a very noticable drop in temps.

ok well from what i seen you say about modding a heater core fan id say you would take a nice piece of advise also.

This (http://www.mpja.com/product.asp?product=14039+FN) will give you more air than you'll ever need for cooling a PC. I'm using one of these, attached to a giant rheostat, to directly cool my CPU heatsinks (dualie system) and everything else inside the box. This fan will probably have to be mounted on the side of the case.
