I just pulled the cover off my case and I noticed the temp. drop from 46 C to 32 C. I only have 1 intake fan (80mm) and 1 exhaust fan (60mm). I'm guessing I need more fans ...
Well... Once again I find myself posting a picture of something often not given the credit it is due:
Direct Ducting. It dropped my CPU temp about 5 degrees. This is an exhaust duct, because my Alpha HSF is suppost to have air exhaust off it. It lowered the air temp of my case to room temp.
If your fan blows on to the HS. It allows cool air from outside the case to hit the HS.
If looks aren't an issue, use cardboard and duct tape to make one.
