My computer is running at a heat of 70C... and so far ive been looking this up and i hear that's not a good heat to be working at... but how would i go upon to fix this anyway? because that's my idle... it stays at that... and i don't see what else i can really do to fix this.. so if anyone has any ideas on how i can make my temperature go down i would appriciate it!!

1. Clear out the dust in the box ($0)
2. Get a chassis fan or two or three ($5-$30 each)
3. Upgrade the CPU cooler ($30, i reccomend the Thermaltake Polo735)
4. Get some quality thermalpaste (say, Arctic Silver5, $10)
