Systems System Overheating

Hi All,

Ok first things first my system:

Processor: AMD XP 2800+
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-7VT600 1394
Graphics Card: Nvidia Geforce FX 5600 XT
Memory: 512Mb DDR 333
Hard Drive(s) 1 x 120 Gb Seagate Drive
1 x 200 Gb Western Digital Drive
PCI Cards: Hauppauge WinTV Theater Card
Sigma Designs DVD Decoder Card
U.S. Robotics WiFi Card
Drive(s) 1 x CDR/W
1 x DVD Rom


All Thats Cooled by:

2 x 3.5" Fan 1 at front blowing in the other at back blowing out
1 x Cooler Master Hard Drive CoolDrive
1 x Cooler Master Jet 7+ CPU HSF

The Problem is that I can't get the damned system to run at anything less than 60C.

Any Suggestions.

The CPU & System monitors both say 60C so basically everythings at 60C

From where are you getting these measurements?

It's incredibly unusual for the CPU to be at air temperature.

I know but I have it.

Today i brought another 80cm 2500rpm fan and drilled some holes in the side of my case and fitted the fan to blow out. This has reduced my temperature monitors to.

CPU: 50C
System: 48C

Which I admit is an improvement but surely 50C is still too hot?

From where are you getting those readings, from what software?

The Readings are from Easytune 4 which came with the motherboard.
