I currently have an AMD 2400+ overclocked to 3200+ speeds (200x11.0 @ 1.70v). There are 2 80mm fans on the back blowing out (I cant tell wether one is or not though) and a PCI fan blowing out near the video card. the CPU has a Thermaltake Silent Boost Copper HSF w/ Artic 5 paste.

typically I get 45C idle - 51C load, but today i'm at 48C idle. The weather is pretty warm today, but my goal is to have it at around 38 - 40C. is this possible by simply adding 2 more intake fans? I just bought 10 from newegg's special. haha. Being that I'm not too experienced with overclocking, liquid cooling isnt an option. should I lower Voltage?
 
i dont know. i cant seem to find the thermometer in the house.
it's 83F in hollywood CA... so i'm guessing... more or less 70-75F
 
I'd have 2 exhaust in the back, 2 intake in the front.

Use the same CFM fans, so the air ratio (intake // outtake) is even.

Taking off the side panel and blowing a house box fan also blasts hot air out of your case.

Hopefully that helps some =)
