Hey everyone, I'm new to the forums. I need you guys that are experts with case air cooling to help me out. Here are my system specs:
Core 2 duo E6400 OC'd to 2.4Ghz.
Intel d975xbx2 mobo
2x1024mb Corsair xms2 ddr2-800 (4-4-4-12)
ATI radeon x1650 pro 512mb ram (PCI-E)
Antec p180 case
Antec earthwatts 500w psu
Seagate 300gb SATA2 hdd
pioneer dvd-rw
linksys b&g wireless pci card
It's no big problem, but I would like to get my processor and gfx card temps down. With TAT I see my cpu idling at ~50C and on full load 62C. I am using the stock heatsink - manually running at 2000rpms. My northbridge is at 37C and my southbridge at 36C, if that helps. The room temp is around 22C. Here is an image I made in paint of my case and the fans and airflow I have going in.

The black is my wires around my case, obviously darker colored arrows means cooler air, lighter arrows hotter air.
Can you guys help me out and possibly help me get my temps down?
