Been having some heat issues lately with the GPU and Hard drive. Unfortunately, my CPU fan/heat sink blocks the 2 Case fan mounts (which might be the problem) =\

All temps were taken after an hour in minecraft (of all games...)
GPU: 71.8C
HDD 1: 56C
CPU: 48C
Core: 38C

I'm thinking about taking the side panel of the case and drilling some ventilation holes + an area for a case fan.

EDIT:
Ghetto case fan in place. I have it so the CPU fan suck the air in and the case fan blows it out. Lets see how that does.

What gear do you have and what monitoring software are you using? And what issues are you having? Off the bat, nothing is wrong with those temps at all. Well, the CPU temp is high, but core temp is the important one. I don't even know what CPU temps is even measuring.
 
Reading were a bit off, but when I had my Pc on before i added my ghetto fan, I could literally use it as a furnace to keep my computer room / office heated during a blizzard. Earlier the case was actually HOT to the touch.

Been using speedfan and cpu-z for temp monitoring.
 
The heat output of a PC is constant (at a given level of load), and (within measurable areas) independent of fans and other air-based cooling apparatus.

If your PC heats your room, you could add the worlds most expensive water-cooling loop to your PC, the room will however still heat up in the same fashion. Your CPU may be cooler, but the heat still has to go somewhere.
 
True. Its probably just me then. Not used to having a Pretty good gaming rig o.O
Been using a budget dual core, 2gb ddr2, and a 9500gt the last 3 years and that stayed pretty cool.
