Suggestions for cooling

[Screamer]

I have a AMD Thunderbird 1333MHz (266)
Asus A7V133 m/b.

The Problem :
The CPU is running at aproximetly 72C-75C and M/B at 36C
The only cooling I have is 1 intake dual fan (ball baring) and the only exaust fan I have is the Power Supply fan.

Thanx

Screamer...with an Athlon T-Bird chip, I would recommend at least another exhaust fan blowing out the back of the case. You also don't mention what HSF you're using for your CPU. You might check into the various software CPU coolers as well.

Keep in mind the Asus boards generally report higher (and maybe more accurate) temperatures than most mobo's. However, above 70C is getting close to the top range of what these CPU's are supposed to be rated for. I believe I remember that they were rated for a top end temp of around 80.

I live in the south and my computer is in a room above our garage which is much warmer than the rest of the house and I am at between 50-55c.
