heat Issues.

You can actually sand down the bottom of your heatsink to where it reflects like a mirror. What this does is remove all the mountains and valleys on the heatsink allowing more surface area to contact the CPU. Arctic Silver thermal compund will help out too, but be sure to just put it on the core, you don't have to smear it over the entire CPU. Another thing that will help airflow is cutting off that fan grill in the back of your case. Take some cutters and remove that circle and be sure to sand those nasty sharp edges down. Make sure your fans are not just blowing against each other. Make there be an actual flow of air,. Have, say, the bottom ones blowing into the computer and the top and sides blowing out. Try getting wires out of the way as they could be constricting airflow also.
