Nice work, Estes. Cabling all nice and tidy. :aok
Couple of questions - 1) What video card is that? 2) Did you install the Asus Probe software to go with that board?
Yes, the Athlons run hot, but with a well ventilated case it's not a problem. I have a case like this (http://www.sagemaster-shop.co.uk/acatalog/copy_of_DX_01W.html), but it only has three fans - two in the front ingesting air, and one exhaust fan at the back. Or at least that's the way I've set it up - for crossflow ventilation. The weather is very warm here today (28°), but my CPU is at 51° - no problem. And that's with the stock heatsink/fan. Why did you replace yours?
-
i took mine and double stacked the side inlet fans so they blow right on the cpu fan and mine now running at 41C it was at 46c befor i did this . ill post up pic's later after the mrs roo gets home with the camera.

Vid card is a Radeon 9600. Earlier crappy model, time to upgrade that too.
Replaced the stock Heatsink and fan because it was dead on arrival. Yes, I have the Asus probe. Temps run from 40-47 depending on load.
I haven't had any problems with heat yet. That blue LED fan next to the CPU needs to be replaced. It's a 3 pin connector fan, cord isn't long enough to reach the hooty on this mobo.
