Hi unrealfarcry,
What kind of case do you have? Can you put a larger (120mm) in the back which will draw more air out. I have a 120mm fan front and back of my case (coolermaster). Also try to get a cheap slot cooler which will draw air from inside and vent it out the back. Also if you have overclocked your cpu and video it will create more heat. 63 degrees seems very high for the cpu at idle, maybe a better cooler is needed.

Dude, not everyone has a 120mm outtake vent space.

Got any better ideas then?

i assume your cpu is on stock cooling.... maybe you should think about getting an aftermarket cooler (i´d suggest the Arctic Cooling Freezer7 Pro), and also replace the stock thermal compound with a more quality one (e.g. Arctic Silver 5), that should improve your idle/load temps significantly. case ventilation should also be improved, if you can´t install additional fans you could just leave your side panel off.

i have the skt939 version, and imo price/performance is unbeatable.
