As a long shot I'm presuming that the case is ATX. If it is your problem
could be the direction that the fan works in the power supply. Does the fan
suck air in or blow it out? If it blows out then I found that to be an
inadequate way of cooling the motherboard and cpu. I removed the power
supply and turned the fan around the other way giving me 10 degrees extra
cooling on the cpu and motherboard. I'm running a k6-2 300 and am cooling
it with the power supply fan only. Hope this helps.
