Get some decent water cooling that also cools your HDD would be the best option.  Apart from that you can also try for a temporary fix to take your case off and get a fan on your PC (it's what we usually do over Summer because we're too lazy to get some decent cooling for our CPU [Image: xso_tongue.gif])

My HD usually stays at around 49c as long as I keep the fans clean.  If you're really worried about overheating, and you have a case without a door on the front, just get one of those HD fans that fit into one of the 5.5" slots.
