CPU running too hot?

[Jpark]

My current setup is a speeze hsf, 2500 amd barton with artic silver paste and around 5 case fans all blowing out . With this setup my cpu temp is around 64 c idle not oc. My room temp is around 78-80 degrees. I'm pretty sure that is running a little too warm. Only thing i can think of is the rpm's on the hsf is too low or i may have goofed when applying the artic silver. Any suggestions?

Don't have all fans blowing out, you want a good circular air flow.

If you dont have any fans blowing in oyu have nothing to push the hot air out nor cool the components.

Fans aren't set up to ATX standard...

As long as your PC is stable you shouldn't worry, there can't be any harm.

each fan fighting another cancels both their efforts out fans are very weak at fighting back pressure. esp case fans.

front in, side in, top rear exhaust. do not deviate if u don't know what you are doing.

read the bit on the side, its still good. http://www.dansdata.com/hx45fan.htm

i'll try switching the fans out. I never really thought about switching the fans flow. thanks for the suggestions
