I just got myself a new a7v333 mobo and and according to asus probe my cpu temp is starting at about 47c and rises up to 63c after about an hour. I just put a new volcano 7+ on it, added a new enermax 365w PS, and a 80mm case fan for intake at the front. My case is a mini ATX I believe, the powersupply sits just above the cpu/HSF. I used AC3 when installing the new volcano. Before that I had some cheesy coolermaster HSF and temp shot right up to 60c from the get-go. My CPU is a athlon 1ghz, not overclocked as of yet as I'd rather not kill it outright :). Any help or tips would be greatly appreciated. Oh yeah, mobo temp readings were around 33-37c.

add a case fan to extract hot air out of the back of your case. might help some

-- There are no answers to find in the bottom of a glass. But you can have fun looking for them.

they isn't really a spot for a exhaust fan besides the PS one on my case (its really small). Would one of those fans that go in a PCI slot work just as well?
