I have 4 case fans.

I unfortunetly only have the sorry stock AMD cooler for my Athlon XP 1700+ at 1.6GHz (135MHz OC) at default voltage.
Case temps are typically 27C-30C, and CPU under load is 47C.

Not too bad for have the smallest aluminum cooler in the world

Abit KT7A-RAID w/ Zalman MoBo Heatsink
768Mb Kingston.M-Tec PC133
SLK-800/ YS-Tech Silent 80mm (20dBa, 27CFM)

Case

What is your ambient temperature?
Your temps seem high for the amount of cooling you have invested.

I have a home made water cooling setup with the Spir@l water block.
I use a Home Depot plastic underground junction box with a Maxi-jet 1200 water
pump in it feeding an 87 Chevy Camaro heater core that has a 190mm fan on it that
pumps into my water block.

My Diode temp (Epox 8K3A+) has dropped almost 17c from the Alpha 8045.
Original temp was over 64c and as high as 71c under load and not it doesn't
break 54c under the heaviest of load and 80Mhz faster.
Keep in mind that the Epox board always reads high.

Added bonus is that the water, while not silent, is much quieter.
