This is normal especially around the power supply area its not unsual just check the actualy tempratures on your devices such as cpu and vid etc..

Too much Heat, as you know, is Bad Ju-Ju. You may want to try a monitor; go here and check this out.

I use 7 fans in my case; 4 intake and 3 exhaust plus one heckofa CPU Cooler Jet 4. It's all good. Good luck and keep us posted on what you decide.

starbuck ?

why do you have such a monster fan ?
i'm running the same as you (more ram) just changed motherboard cos customer wanted what i had :)
and it's one way to upgrade for free and this one has more sata slots :)

but i got a cheapo fan on mine and it's overclocked :)
so i think you have prolly got too much paste on your heatsink
too much is as bad as none almost

pcrepair, not sure of your question??? I am a proponent of keeping everything cool inside the case. That's why I "over did it". Plus, I may upgrade to the Extreme Pentium Chip once the price goes down, at the time of building my rig it was over $1,000 US Dollars. In my opinion, where space and cooling is concerned, you cannot over do it. ... just my opinion; that is why I have a huge "Pretty Boy" case with lots of room, etc.... Now, this Rig is "my baby" as you can tell. I have no issues excessive heat.
