Hi guys, i need some suggestions from you...what is the best way to increase your cooling system? is there anything aside from adding fans? any ideas?

i hope there is...

Rounded cables, or tie & tuck cables out of the way. Cables really cut down airflow when there just scattered inside the case. Better thermal paste, Artic Siver 5. Ambient Temp, if you keep your house warm your PC will run hotter. A PC in a room that's 80deg will run a lot hotter the in a room that's 75deg.

Yep, use sata cables and throw away those old IDE cables and its devices. It can really crowd up the case. Oh btw, if you want more cooling try a modular power supply.

Liquid submission cooling. I.e. to submerse the computer's components in a thermally conductive liquid. By doing this, your computer doesnt necessarily require any fans or pumps.

Where full power, full featured modern computer are not required, you can opt to use less power computer with few features, e.g use thin client, or disk-less workstations.

Some laptop components such as hard drives, and optical drives are commonly cooled by having them make contact with the computer's frame, increasing the surface area, which can radiate the otherwise exchange heat.

You can do the active heat sink cooling, whereby you direct the fan to blow over or through the heat sink.

You can borrow the idea of Poltier cooling, or thermoelectric cooling, to cool PC's Components below ambient temperatures.

You can apply water cooling method, which was mainly used for mainframes, though it has become a practice largely associated with overclocking, inform of either manufactured kits, or in the form of DIY setups assembled from individually gathered parts.

You can use heat pipe, whereby you attach a large radiator to the heat sinks, creating a large heat pipe, that transfers heat from the CPU to the radiator.
