Post up your system spec's/parts and temps... My case temp stays around 45C (unless the sensor is wrong) and the processor is running anywhere from 36C to 45C (depending on load)...

People are always talking about CPU temps but I'm curious about whether I have enough airflow in my case. My case temps are not too close to ambient temperatures under load.

AXP-M 2600+ (217x11.5) @ 1.725 (1.7 actual)
5 case fans, 3 intake 2 exhaust
Radeon 9800 Pro, 2 WD HDs, DVD-ROM and CD-RW
I think the front fan filter seriously lowers the airflow. My case temp ranges from about 25C-31C, CPU temps from about 35C-47C.

Right now, at this very second, my processor is listing 40C and the case is listing 44C. That is via MBM5 readings confirmed by both the bios AND Everest.
I'd expect an overcocked processor to run MUCH hotter than a default speed processor.
As for "cannot cool"... if the heatsink is doing it's job and pulling heat AWAY from the processor then there's no reason I can't have the numbers... I have a window about 4 feet away from the case, with a fan in it giving a slow, steady flow of cooler outside air in the direction of the computer.
I'm still thinking of doing some liquid cooling onto the processor, I just haven't ordered up the parts yet. If the weather stays about where it is now, or as it has been doing, then I probably won't go that way this year. Especially since I've not even needed to put the AC into a window (not the one with the fans, one across the room).
