Lets talk about the case. How many 120mm or 80mm fans are on the case? And what HS are you cooling the CPU with? And a 4850 makes a lotta heat and dumps it right into the case.

Probably 40mm fans.
-I would suggest using the best TIM you can buy; Coollaboratory Liquid Pro if your HSF base is COPPER, and you know what what you are doing. ICD7 Diamond TIM if you have a Aluminum base,
-Use Speedfan to keep you little fan at 100%. Ear killer yes, cooler though.
-Of course Lap the HSF.
Other than that, there is really not much you can do.
