Need some idea's on cooling

Hey everyone!

Here's my (soon-to-be) setup:

ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe
AMD Athlon X2 4200+ @ 2615MHz
2 Sony DVD-RW Drives
BFG 7950 GX2 1GB (I'll hopefully have this installed by July)
BFG 128Mb Physx Card (also hopefully to be installed by July)
Silverstone 560 watt Zues PSU
(2x) Raptor 36.6 Gb 10k (Raid 0)
Seagate 120 Gb IDE (Storage)
Audigy 2 ZS Platinum
LifeView TVR TV Tuner
Thermaltake Armor Case
Thermaltake BigWater 745 w/additional radiator
-Note that all of the HDD's are in the back near the PSU in an "iCage"

My current temps:
CPU
Idle: 31 Celcius
Load: 38 Celcius
Motherboard:
Idle: 31 Celcius
Load: 32 Celcius
GPU: (currently a 7900 GTX)
Idle: 44 Celcius
Load: 66 Celcius

I have a 120mm fan pointing directly at the GPU and Motherboard from the side of the case, one 120mm fan in the front of the case with air blowing inward, one 120mm fan on the back of the case with a radiator connected on it for the liquid cooling, and one 80mm fan behind all three HDD's in the iCage at the back/top of the case.

I am looking at purchasing this: http://www.frozencpu.com/vid-34.html to assist in cooling the new graphics card, Physx and Mobo.

I am posting this thread for input on improving my current cooling systems. I don't want to pay a bunch of money for phase change cooling, and I also don't want to go through the trouble of installing water cooling on the GPU. So I am asking for some ways that I could improve my pc cooling by having anyone list some good cooling products and/or techniques I can use to cool my system a little more.

Thanks to all that Reply, and that have taken the time to read!

 

Oh, and here is a little image showing the tempurature drop when I power the 120mm fan that is blowing on my GPU and motherboard.


Without the fan, it idles at about 44 Celcius, with it usually idles at 31 Celcius (It's really hot in Sacramento, CA tonight)

 

Those temps seem fine to me!!

 

Well, really I want to cool my GPU more, and my HDD's are probobly really warm

 

a GPU at 44 C isnt that hot, Mine idles at about 44-45 C and i have an X800 XT and 66C is also an acceptable temperature underload, depending on what graphics card drivers you are using you may be able to change the fan speed of ur GPU to lower it even more,

 

Often overlooked is the Vid Card RAM and thus the top of the card (most focus on the GPU) but once you start pushing your Video Card with high end games the RAM will generate heat which in turn can rise directly towards the CPU. This is a bit of a ghetto mod but I personally like the concept and the physics behind it seem solid, have a look:

Visual asthetics may be important but performance counts.

remember the LN2!

 

Luv it LOL but wtf is it. Looks like it just came out of the deep freezer, who needs Phase Change?!?!

 

Wow . . . Looks like you could store embryos with this thing! It does look like it just came out of the freezer . . . I've got a box of chicken nuggets that looks a lot like this, lol!

What is it?

 

Maybe Go with this New Case Dude Air Conditioned Case,It's New Apperently
And You Can cool Off Everything in the case......
