Jesus. With all those wires I can see you have a major problem. That is a little extreme.

Coolmaster Thermal Paste PTK-001 might help too.

Re: my god
REALLY.
It may not be that bad since you don't have any intake fans at the front, but that's really messy. Especially with that mammoth power cable going right across your system board. Terrible cable placement.
Also, I don't like those 2 hard drives stuck together like that. They'll really get hot that way. Definitely get a new case if you can. I'm kind of partial to Chieftec clones, and you can get an Antec Performance whatever 1000AMG at newegg for $75. Great case and a GREAT deal.
Get Arctic Silver if you can! No other thermal paste is comparable. If you can't get AS3, just use the thermal pad that comes with your new HSF - most include them.

I'll rearange the wires as best I can, I just tried to keep the away from the fans, didn't thin kabout airflow in the case as I don't have an intake fan.
I found a store that has AS III so I'm getting it today.
As for the HSF, I'll keep the one I have for now, it's Glacial Tech Iglo 2310. You said earlier that it's a good one.... isn't it?

Arris, your cables are much neater than a lot of people out there. I have seen more untidy ones before like my old pc before i fix the mess.

Well, it's done, I've applyed AS 3. I managed not to fry any components (I assume that if something was wrong it would have blown immediatly). What is left to see is what happens to the temps. I'm not sure if I applyed enough or to much. I tried to follow AS# instructions as much as possible but... there can alwas be some mistake. Wait and see....
Thanks for the help everybody. I also saw an Antec case I really liked. Maybe in a month or two.

A tiny drop on the core should be enough.

Get some rounded IDE Cables as well since they will help improve your airflow. You could also remove some of the PCI Slot covers to help improve ventilation.
Th3M1ghtyD8: Good idea with the pci covers.
Young&wild: I did put only a tiny drop nut in the AS site they say to put some on the HS and rub it in, which I did.
so far I rhink there has been a drop of maybe one or two degrees. It's only been 48 hours though so I'm hoping for more.
I also pushed the wires aside as best I could and from looking at the pics I put on the forum it looks much better.
I can't wait to be ablt to affors that new case .... I dream about it at night
btw, to all the (rightfully) shocked readers out there that have helped me with this problem I would just like to add (if it wasn't obvious already) that this is the first pc I ever built! so you must excuse any ridiculously stupid things I have done (like those wires). I am learning form every post I read.

Use zip ties or electrical tape to bundle wires up to get them out of the way of air flow. Also AMD recommends not adding fans to the front of a case because they don't show any significant drops in temps like rear case fans do. If you have only one spot in the back of your case for a fan you could get 2 of the exact same fans(speed and size) and double them up. Right now I have 4 80mm fans in the back of my case blowing out thru two holes. I also noticed that when I put my fans together like that they actually made less noise than when they were apart. I'll try and post a pic tomorrow of how tidy my case is

My Front Case fans used to be blowing almost nothing but my Hard Disk Drive until i removed them due to lack of power from the PSU.
