Should i reverse it to take AIR OUT?

Theres abit of dust build up.. ill give it a clean and let you know the temps soon.ill try & take a pic aswell =)
so yeah.. u guys saying the 65C idle isnt good hey?
am i reading this correct?
you have the rear exhaust fan as an intake?
if so this is the problem. the powersupply makes alot of heat and that goes out the back and gets sucked back into the fan and to the cpu, then the PS sucks that back up and causes a heat cycle and eventually will kill the PS.
