I put in 4 1GB sticks Patriot RAM about a week ago and have notice considerable improvement in speed. However, I have also had about 4 instances of heat initiated shutdowns (with the beep and power down).
I checked my temperatures and have found the following:
GPU: 65C (HOT)
Temp1: 53C (HOT)
Temp2: -128C
Temp3: 26C
HD0: 38C
HD1: 48C
Temp1: 30C
Core0: 36C
Core1: 36C
Fan1: 1850 RPM
Fan2: 850 RPM
Fan3: 0 RPM
Now I can't seem to find fan 3, but I'm sure it is in there somewhere.
How can I cool better/more efficiently?
Someone recommended this:

But I'm not sure I have the space. Also a PCI mounted turbo fan:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835888309
Any help much appreciated.
And the environment is usually:
FS9 or FSX, ACARS, AS6 or ASX, Internet and FSCommander - so a couple programs running

Drew go here for the core tempurature http://www.alcpu.com/CoreTemp/ The CPU temp seems fineI am double that But I also Have overclocked the chip 1 GHz about Factory Temp 1 is probally the North bridge chip the GPU is pretty warm for the Stock cooler The newer 8800Gt run around 49 to 51* C
All the fans for the system features have to be connected to the MOBO and Three wire type fans at that for the board to read them.Fan one is the CPU Fan 2 at that peed is probably the PS fan.
Best way to exhaust heat in these boxes is to have a fan blowing in the front and one Exhausting in the rear. i the case supports a top fan, that will exhaust any trapped heat at the top of the case.
If you do not have a front Fan and the room in the 5.25 bays , That fan would be the ticket. the latter is junk.

I actually removed the side of my computer and put a mini fan next to it. I turn it on low when i am on FS and it seems to do the trick. Not real pretty but it works for me.

Blow all the dust out of your system too. Dust is a great insulator. I blow/vacuum out my system every fiew moths.

If you're worried about heat on your graphics card, if you have an nVidia card, Google for and download a utility called "RivaTuner." It will tell you your video card's temperature and on some cards like my 8800GTS, will let you set the fan speed. My 8800GTS came with such a conservative fan speed profile that it would not budge the fan RPM off 37% until the GPU went over 80 degrees C. Now running at 55% fixed, no matter how hard I push it, I can't get over 72 C (and barely scrape the low 60s in FS2004).
If you're worried about CPU heat, you've got a few options. More case fans if your case has a mount for them, or possibly an aftermarket CPU cooler. I use the Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro, which is a big machined fist-sized hunk of finned aluminum with a 92mm fan clipped onto it. Using that, with some fan speed tweaks on my motherboard, I typically stay around 52-53C under max load (both cores at 100% running Prime95) on my non-overclocked Core 2 Duo E8400. Of course, that heat still has to go somewhere after you pull it off the CPU, so case cooling is a must. And fair warning, if your CPU is an LGA 775 socket like most of the Core 2 Duos, mounting a big aftermarket heatsink is not for the faint of heart.
I'd go with Tony's suggestion, and see if your case allows a mounting for an extra intake fan in the front. I did that on my Antec Sonata 550 Plus, it has room for two 92mm fans mounted in the front so I added one in to increase airflow and cool my hard drive.
EDIT: Do you have two hard drives? Because that HDD1 temp showing 48C is worrisome. Both my drives (500GB SATA and 100GB IDE) stay in the low 30s, and indeed, 40C is the max that either drive is allowed.
ANOTHER EDIT: Looking at that Speedfan report you've got up there, I think I agree with Tony that 53C is probably your Northbridge temp, and that's hot. Temp 3 is (I'm guessing) the "case" temperature of the CPU, which is always going to be lower than the core temperatures. 36C at idle is fine for cores. There are clip-on Northbridge cooling fans you can buy, if the extra case fan(s) don't reduce your temperature.

ok lewis - I downloaded the RivaTuner - but I have no idea what to do to try and change fans speeds, sets, etc. Any chance to go voice?
I am headed to the store to see if I can find a pair of case fans and/or a PCI slot fan
there are two Hard Drives

40C is too hot for HD's? My WD SATA 250GB HD runs at 68C
What worked for me was opening one side of the case. That really reduced the heat inside and my 3 Ghz P4 won't go over 45C with stock cooling.

Just for giggles - I opened the side, and have a fan blowing to it. My readings now are:
GPU: 51C down from 65
Temp1: 46C down from 53
Temp2: -128C (Bogus)
Temp3: 33C was 26
HD0: 44C was 38
HD1: 52C was 48
Temp1: 34C was 30
Core0: 46C was 36
Core1: 43C was 36
however - I have 6 things cranked right now

I use the vacuum on the fans and the case not the motherboard
