Guys here's my system spec

Q8400s 2.66 (Not Overclocked)
2GB DDR2
Foxconn Sonata M/B (P45 chipset)
ASUS GTS250 512MB
1 x 1TB Samsung Spinpoint F3
1 x 250GB Seagate Baraccuda 7200.12
22x Samsung DVD-R/RW
Powerlogic Atrix 5500W Chassis
Amacrox 500W PSU (i know......sad innit )

Recently i wanted to convert some of my DVDs to put them in an iPad...
thats when i found out that within about 10-15 mins of starting the encoding process the processor temp would go above 70 C and the alarm would sound.

Later on i noticed that my idle CPU temp hovers around 55 C.
Right now - 57 C / CPU Fan 2200 RPM / System 44 C

I got one 120mm LED back fan pumping air out and one side 120mm LED fan pumping air in. The PSU has a 120mm fan too i think thats pumping air out too.

What's the problem here guys? How can i get these temps down?
thanx in advance

thanx for the reply bro...
i actually bought a cooler master hyper 212 plus cooler since it would be good for my future upgrades.
So now the idle temps are down to 42-43C and the 100% load for 2 hrs stays at 51-52C
