Good PC Coooling System

i think itz normal for that processor. Anyway get a good heatsink which mostly done in copper. good fan will help too.chaminga_d said:
I think Coolmax, Cooler master, Thermaltake has better heatsinks and combo processor coolers too.

of course the room is airconditioned
No dude, those two fans(top & back side fans) are blowing air out of the case(coz hot air rises). & he got 3 fans in the bottom of the casing to get the air in...
......
& of course the intel 6xx series gets a bit hot
& the stock hsf isnt the best 
I think two or three exhaust and intake fans would do. I hv 2.8 with intel 915. the system overheated every few minutes. i installed two fans and the problem is solved.
until you buy a fan, you may keep your casing open. will reduce the temp.

air intake fans are good. but don't install them if your machine is not in a a/c room. otherwise dust will make your pc dead.
and another one thing...
please don't open casing and turn on... it will not reduce the temp. casing is designed to make a good air circulation inside it...

I don't agree with you. Even if you have zero case fans, the case still sucks dust in. Why? Because the power supply unit's exhaust fan makes a vacuum effect and from the vents in the front and sides of the case, cool air comes in. Hell, even with only on exhaust fan running at 7V instead of 12V and the power supply unit's two fans, I still feel cool air being sucked in when I put my hand close to the vents. Dust comes in regardless of whether you have intake fans or not. And remember, dust is not dangerous as excessive heat. Heat should be given the priority. Besides, you can clean inside of your case every one month or three months. You can't do something like that about the heat. And remember, dust can't do much harm to the circuit boards because, the circuit routes are covered with a glossy coating and most boards have internal connections (as most of them have several layers). But one thing to remember is that you should not let dust deposit on heatsinks, because then, it will make it less and less efficient in dissipating the heat out.

Not every casing is designed to make a good air circulation, especially the ones we find in Sri Lanka - the no-name brands or the unpopular brands. The pioneers in case design have good designs - yes.
Anyway, you have to have a good cable management inside the case such that the cables - IDE cables more specifically - do not block the path of the air. Try to keep them directly out of the air flow of the intake fans.
Opening up the case might help in the short run, but I also don't recommend that. If you have to keep your case open to make it work, it means something is seriously wrong with your system. Address that issue properly.

Anusha yes machan. When they designed motherboard and other cards they assume users have good Air circulate cassing. Some users worry about only processor temp. But that is damn wrong.
And also, keep enough space between hot parts.
Examples:
1. leave at least one bay free between hard drives (if you have more than one).
2. Don't install an expansion card next to the video card(s). Video cards usually run hotter than anything else, so leave enough room around them for enough air to absorb the heat.
3. Use a power supply that has an intake fan right on top of the CPU. Normal power supplies only have the exhaust fan at the rear and it uses the vacuum effect to get the hot air into it and out of the case. Forced intake would better remove the hot air around the CPU.

My room is not air con. i installd one itake and one exhaust. but it doed not seem to attracting too much dust. there are some dust on the fan blades. but not very badly.
I mean till you buy sm fans. opening case does not solve the case completely. for short run it will serve.
