Abit worried about my Temperatures

[Deathrattle]

Hi , are these temperatures too hot ?

CPU 53C (idle)

System temp 28C (idle)

My fan speeds are ..... CPU around 4600rpm ... 120mm exaust around 1600rpm

My system currently has a 120mm exaust fan at the back.

I am thinking of replacing that fan with a more powerful one to suck more air out , and I also have a grill on the side to fit another 120mm fan blowing air in.
I figure that should get things a little cooler

but i just want to know if my temps are normal ?

thanks ................ John

Just played UT2004 for 30 mins and my temps have gone up to...........

CPU temp 66C................System temp 30C

I know the Prescott chips run hotter , but are these temps ok ?

thanks.......John

66C is hot, but not too hot nor dangerous for the Prescotts, and depending on the system configuration can be quite normal.

You're just fine, and I wouldn't worry unless you start to get system instability during cpu-intensive tasks.

Thanks for the reply , eases my mind :grinthumb

Still gonna fit the other fan though , just to see if I can bring it down a couple of degrees
