Speak English much? Your friend needs to fix the heatsink (if he has one on)... adding more fans won't fix anything for those temps. Make sure he's using thermal paste correctly.

C'mon this sounds like a joke... you are refering to Celcius right? Maybe you are "reefering" to much instead! LOL.

Of course it will.

Tell your friend to remove the sidepanels.
As a temporary measure that should help to lower his systemps.
Then figure out where the hot air is coming from, where it is going and what you have to do to fix the problem.
There are several good threads which cover cooling your case down ( I recommend the "Modding a ZaserIII", but I am biased).

Yes but if this guy is refering to Celcius case fans won't impact the CPU temps as much as installing the HSF correctly.

Agreed though that ambient temp is VERY important.

1) Using good grammar helps.

2) Taking shots at other's bad grammar does not.

3) How is the temp being measured?

4) has he tired taking the doors off to see if improved flow solved the problem as mentioned before? If so did it work?

That sounds like degrees C to me.

Please tell me that 1) the HS/F is improperly installed 2) You're reading CPU diode temeprature, not socket temperature 3) that the heatsink fan's connector isn't hooked up and 4) he hasn't been letting this go on for weeks and weeks.

85 degrees C is the melt down temperature for most Athlons.

Advice: New heat sink, new thermal interface. Though it is possible that permanent damage may have occured already.

The NB temp seems fine 32ºC isnt bad at all. Im running 30ºC on water.
