    How to get these temps down?

     
    I think my temps are a bit high for my system. The room temp is 70F. Here is my setup:

    2.8C
    IC7-G
    1GB HyperX PC4000
    3 7200rpm hard drives
    ATI Radeon 9800 Pro
    Matrox G200 PCI
    ATI TV wonder
    Antec NeoPower 480w
    2 80mm exhaust fans
    1 120mm front intake

    Watercooling:
    RBX block on P4
    Maze4 on 9800 Pro
    Aquaxtreme 12v pump
    2Fresh heatercore
    Weapon Shroud
    2 120x38mm YS Tech fans running low speed, blowing down onto the heatsink. The fans push air down through the top of the case and through the heatercore.

    Here are the temps:


    Here's an inside pic:

    (I eliminated the Elbow)

    Here's a pic where you can see the shroud up top:



    The northbridge has the stock Abit cooler on it, and my motherboard's mosfets have aluminum ram sinks.

    I think my temps should be much cooler, and my system should be able to run with even less fans. Are there any ideas as to what could be causing this? The system is dust free, and I just reapplied AS5 to the CPU, and it yields the same temperatures.

    Thanks,
    Rich

    how is the system dust free with that opening for a fan on the side? or is it just closed up and i cannot tell. btw, where did you get that background that spans across your monitor like that?
    what? like a blue spider? get it off!

    Your fans on the radiator are are drawing air out, right? If that is true, then you are drawing warm air from the case through the radiator. If you could remount the radiator so that it draws fresh air from outside the case you could probably drop 3-5 degrees centigrade from your processor temperature.
