overheating computer

hey,

http://www.futureshop.ca/en-CA/product/cyberpowerpc-cyberpowerpc-gamer-xtreme-intel-core-i7-960-computer-gxi240-english-gxi240/10170689.aspx?path=d5616dc2f7614d94bd3c137b218a5d2cen02

got this pc about 6 months ago and it reaches 60 degrees celsius very quickly when running high graphic games. while running normally its hottest area is about 40-45 degress C.

i'm just wondering what i can do to improve/ lower its temperature, any recommendations on good working fans/ cooling products would be appreciated.

thanks

What is it exactly that's running at 60C? Your CPU, Video Card?

60 degrees in nothing to be worried about, CPU/GPU will get hotter as time goes on because of dust and thermal paste gets old and crusty, if youre that worried give your pc dust and realpply thermal paste,

its at the CPU. and i figured 60 is overheating because the default alarm goes off at 55. I'll try reseating. thanks for the advice guys. anyone recommend a water cooling unit? because i was thinking of adding another graphics card for 3d.

I believe it is an alarm attached to the touch panel fan control that goes off as that is where i can change the temperature the alarm goes off at. maybe i will raise it so it doesnt go off until 63-65 -ish. i'll look into these fans you guys suggested. thanks a bunch.

both, and they are about the same, give-or-take a few degrees
