Problem with overheating

Hey guys!

I have a terrible problem with my computer overheating. Mainly in the summer. I live above a chipshop, so its hot 24/7. Its worse when the shop shuts as all the heat from the shop travels up to my room :mad:

I've got a fan blowing on my computer atm but its not helping too much. What would you guys suggest i do? And moving isnt an option

Will i have to stuff my room with fans?

What's your PC case and how many fans have you got in there? Anything overclocked?

No idea what case i got, just a standard one?

4fans, including the gfx one. Nothing is overclocked

Go downstairs & ask them for a cooler running 45nm 'Chip'

BTW...tomatoe sauce doesn't make a good thermal compound:
