Toasty. Looks like a lack of good airflow to keep it cool especially as the motherboard and HDD temps are high too.

what can i do then?

You could have a concave cpu so unless you lap it then your temps wont even improve that much even if you get a new heatsink.

but everything is hot within the case not only the cpu

take the side of the case off see how the temps are then
just looked at your case on the ocuk site prob wont help that much with those fans in it
worth a try tho

Are all 3 case fans being used and is the front case fan sucking air in and the back two case fans blowing air out of the case?

From the looks of the Aurora 3D it should do a decent job of keeping your case cool and especially keeping the HDDs cool.

I suspect you haven't got the front case fan connected up as the HDD temp is so high otherwise perhaps your room is toasty resulting in the high temps you're seeing?

my room temperature is at about 35c atm.

all the fans are working alright, 2 back fans taking the air out of the case, 1 front fan getting the air inside the case.

do you think buying new fans would make any difference?

A 35c ambient room temperature means your systems temps are perfectly fine. You could buy faster running fans but they'll be noisy and very unlikely to help much at all.

For reference the average ambient room temperature is probably about 22c-25c so yours is very toasty by comparison.
