    Sorry guys that i keep rambling on about this, but i need to know something. Is it possible that the high cpu temps are caused by the excessive heat dissipation from the power supply? Unfortunately my processor is very close to my power supply. These days its been very hot here with ambient temperatures above 30 degrees C. When i touch my power supply, i almost burn my fingers! It's that focking hot. For a 350W max output, is this normal? Anyways it explains why mbm tells me that the case temp is always above 40C! I have max fan speed with my zalman and in idle its 58C! lol . Just shows how everything is relative on a hot day (33C). So anyways, are there 'cool' power supplys out there in the computer stores? Cause it sure would help keeping those temps down

    Your power supply has only 1 fan I pressume? Most newer models have 2 fans, the one nearer the CPU sucks air in.

    yes i have only the bigger fan in it, not a second smaller one. What do you think? Should i get one like that? Or is the difference negligible?

    Either that or get a case with better air flow.
