One: How are your fans setup exactly Two: How warm is the temp in the room where you run your PC Three: What type of Intel processor do you have. By that i mean, what core is it.

I have an AMD 2.0GHZ XP and it runs very cool and stable because of it.

Where is the computer located?? Are there any heat vents nearby?? Close to a sunny window??

Ok mate time for a stint as little Susy home maker in your computer. Get a can of air and throughly blow out the insides. Pay close attention to the heat sink fins and the ram cards as this seems to be where your heating problem is. Take a q-tip and clean off the fan blades on all blowers. The dirt on the blades causes turbulance and reduces the efficiancey of the fan. Besides being extra weight for the fan motor to carry around. Clean the fan housing also. Now remove and plug back in all PCI and ram cards. This simple wiping action will clean the contacts. Same for all cables. What happens is you get some minor corrosion on the contacts. Corrosion is resistance and resistance is heat. Using cloth tape cover up any holes not being used. Cloth tape is not prone to static. Make sure you shut down and turn off the power to the system using the PSU kill switch in the back. Let it cool to room temp. DO NOT turn the canned air upside down as the propellant is super cold and may crack a chip. CAUTION>>> Static electric discharge can and will kill a system as sure as you took a hammer to the motherboard. I may be crazy, but I'm not stupid...

If you are still keeping tabs, the fans on the right side of your computer should be blowing air out, the fans on the back of your computer should be taking air in, and should always be in the coolest part of the room, where no sun can hit it. That will cool down your PC, trust me. The fact that your room is pretty warm as you said, will not help the temp of your pc. Since everything is prob either metal or plastic, all that heat will build up on your pc, thus making it run hott. You can be amused by the simplest of things.
