    i have installed coolermaster hyper 212 and coolermaster 600w power supply and 2 exuast fan and 1 intake fan thinking that it might help me to reduce the temp.it did help me a lot by decreasing the temp bt my ich temp is increasing constantly and i can bearly touch my graphic card and motherboard because they become too hot to keep your finger on it for few seconds.i can bearly run my windows since it processes way slow and i cant even play my games now..so any solution on this.other info
    motherboard dg965ry,2gb ram ,thats about it..

    graphics cards do get very hot, that's just their nature. Your motherboard however sounds on the border between acceptable and too hot. Can you get us some accurate readings using SpeedFan for your CPU and Motherboard and Rivatuner(nvidia) or Atitool(ATI) for your graphics card?

    my graphics card was never so hot.this is way too much from what it was before and on the other hand my mother board was also never like this before.any ways this is the whloe reading i am writting down
    FROM SPEEDFAN
    HD0(down arrow) : 39c
    HD1(up arrow) : 41c
    core : 58c
    ambient(correct): 47c(it reduces when i check on the automatic fan box)
    i dont know how to use the speedfan software so i dont know what exaty info i can give you in it

    BIOS HARDWARE TEMP
    cpu/die temp :49-50
    mother board :47-48
    mother board :50-51
    ***ich temp :70 it starts from and when u restart it becomes 97
    mch temo :47-48
    +12v =11.840v
    +5v =5.10v
    mch vcc =1.268v
    cpu 1 vccp=1.300v

    The CPU and Hard drive temps are certainly fine. The motherboard temperature is a bit high, but that's because the ambient temperatures are so high, check your fans are working properly.
    As for the ICH, that is alarming, I think you ought to replace the heatsink on it.

    could you be more specific in explaining about the ambient temp and i bought the coolermaster hyper 212 today.but i didnt put the new paste which i got it from cooler master.few days back only i had applied the paste on the heatsink so i didnt put it this time.

    The Hyper 212 is a CPU cooler, and that seems to be working fine. It's the southbridge that seems to be overheating. The ambient temp (47C) is high, you need to increase the speed of your fans or add more, it's generally too hot in there.

    Well, turn off automatic fan control in your BIOS (if it's enabled) but if the fans still don't push enough air, you'll need to replace them with better ones.

    How do you have your exhaust and intake fans plugged in? Are they running right off the PSU plugins?
    Seem very puzzling that they are turning so slow as you said.
    Maybe I'm wrong but if they are running straight off the PSU, they should be going at max. speed.
    But a simple soltuion would be to get a fan controller for your intake and exhaust fans.

    120mm exhaust fan where all the connections are and one 60mm exhaust fan at the bottom and one 60mm intake fan in front of the hard disk.my ambient temp has come down to 45 after closing my cabinet.i would have sent a pic of my comp if only i knew how to upload it.

    OK, so the fan on your card is not the problem then.
    Only asked because some cards have a seperate power plugin for the cooler fan.
    Nice card by the way.

    Is it an older 8800? (did you get it more than a couple of months back) because the early 8800GTs had dodgy fans which didn't keep the cards cool enough.
