Did I install my cpu correctly?

Hi there, about a month ago I installed a 1.33 T-bird on an ABIT KT7A mobo using arctic silver II and a Globalwin FOP32-I.

Now, without my Geforce2 in the CPU temp goes from about 95 F -> 124 F
With the Geforce in the CPU temp goes from about 118 F -> 129F
Now, I have side of my case off and a rear exhaust fan but that is it.

Are my high temps due to air flow or could it be a bad cpu install. I'm thinking since the CPU temp idles (without the geforce in) at 95 F that perhaps it is an airflow problem. And maybe with the Geforce card in there I need to get that heat out somehow. I was thinking about one of those Dual system bracket fans that blows on the cards. Or maybe I should try reapplying the arctic silver and heatsink.

I'm lost - I would just like to get those temps down a bit.

EDIT: forgot to mention that my case temp curerntly is about 100 F .. that is with the Geforce in there and CPU temp at 120 F
 
The temperatures you mention seem to be OK & I wouldn´t worry about it if the system is stable. You don´t mention what GeForce you have and there are differences between the different models, but most of them do get hot and that might account for the higher temperature with the card in.

When CPU´s are about to overheat they normally get unstable first for some time - even though that time might not be so long for AMD processors. As a rule of thumb - a stable CPU is not about to overheat.
