Warm Orleans
I just got a 3800+ Orleans and it is running warm)about 50 C idle and 57C load, 65C gaming load). I still have stock cooling, is there anything else I can do before shelling out for a new cooler? Like upgrade fans?
My case isnt too messy so there is decent flow i think.

Make sure that you have the thermal paste/pad applied and that the heatsink/fan is mounted correctly.
How many case fans do you currently have in your case, and what ones are exhaust/intakes?
