Make sure that your Power Supply is blowing out the back of your case (you'd be surprised how many mainstream PS's don't do this!).

Also another thing that I usually do is to use a dremel and cut out all the fan grills in the PC (the ones integrated into the case with the little holes) and replace them with the chrome wire grill ones. This allows more airflow and makes everything much quieter!

p.s. also when the warrenty runs out on your power supply use a dremel and cut out all the grills on it as well! It really makes a difference when the fans have less resistance to work against.

I took my case temp down 5c by removing grils and allowing more air flow, which in turn dropped my CPU temp by 2c. Also it's noticably quieter!
