a friend of mine sent me to this site in hopes that i can find a cooling solution to my little 'oven' sitting next to me.
so far ive found alot of hints and tips on how to get it cool and keep it cool. but no one has talked about EXTREMEs, ive read "yea 35* was too hot, now its down to 22*" im dealing with 55* with no load, forget running any sort of graphics. when booting up WinXP it often tops over 60* right now it is sitting 'cool' at 55.4*

onto the fan set up.
i have 2 60mm fans set in the back for exhaust, and one 60mm fan directly across from the HSF blowing room air into the case.
unfortunatly i dont have any place to put front fans in an effective manor (i have mounts for 4 60mm`s, but there is no front vent to get cool air in.
here is a pic of the case:
i have a Thermaltake HardCano 10 dual adjustable fan controller with alarm and LCD temp display. Fan1 is set to the CPU fan, and Fan2 are the exhaust fans.
right now they are both on at full blast.
if i turn one down, the temp jumps 1.5*
i know AMDs hate heat, and i dont want to buy a new processor anytime soon!!
HELP!
