The main cooling in my case is on my GeForce2 Ultra, since I can't o/c my PIII due to mobo limitations... I have a Blorb on my GPU and nice stock 'sinks on the RAM which are cooled by the Blorb. I have a 92mm 42 cfm slot fan over the back of the GeForce2 Ultra which pulls away heat from the back of the GPU and mem. I also have 2 other slot fans to pull air through the case and shoot it out the back. They also serve as coolers for my NIC and sound card. My CPU is cooled by a shroud cooler which is powered by a nice 92 mm 62 cfm fan. The heatsink is a neat one that comes with all Dell Dimension 4100s. I can't remember who makes it though; they also sell fans to dell for their Precision Workstations... I also have a 60mm, a 50mm, and a 40mm blowing air onto my hard drive and sucking air into the case. The PSU has a nice 80mm 42 cfm fan, alo. Tell me if this is an adequate job...

It certainly sounds like you have enough fans providing airflow in and out of your case. You can probably answer your own question by downloading and installing something like MotherBoard Monitor and taking a look at your CPU and MB temps. Your system must be a little on the noisy side with that many fans.

[EDIT]
Actually, now that I think about it, I have 10 fans in my system... Not including the PSU...

I would HIGHLY recommend you get a temperature sensor for your cpu. Most are just a temp reading that fits into a 5 1/4 slot or you can go the bigger route and get a Digital Doc 5 that can read 8 different temps (I love mine). That is the best way to know if your computer is cool enough for your CPU. Hope this helps Plycon Computers
