After adding a second 120mm case fan at the front (vantec thermoflow) and applying some arctic silver to the cpu, this is what I can manage... 41C/47C for cpu/mobo after 1 hour of hardcore gaming at room temperature around 37-38 degrees Celsius.

Any thoughts?

Awsome due! with room temperatures of 37 deg, you cant get your load temp of 47 deg or lower.

Thats excellent temperature, for Mobo i believe you can make it 39 deg by cutting any old heat sinks or buying a passive cheap cooling

Yesl...the only thing I can improve upon would be the cpu heatsink. Even though it is not old and works great...it's just loud but not too bad. I don't wanna spend 50-70 CND on cpu heatsink. I am saving for more RAM :)

Believe it or not, I am in Toronto, Canada. And the reason it was so hot when I recorded this temperature was because my computer was in the solarium and my air-conditioning was off and I just wanted to try my machine under such conditions...just to see how good my cooling was :)
