Ok so atm I'm playing around with CPU temps and trying to keep my fans on Low speed and have just found my CPU fan speed toggle thing so have made it 1700 RPM (instead of 2500). But now I think the temp has probably gone up a bit and this could affect performance :/? The temp is hovering around 33-38, idle, is that ok or should I up the fan speeds  ? e4400 (2ghz) Windows XP Case - Antec P180 Oh and here's a pic of Speedfan..not really liking the Fire symbol being next to the Core, but hey.  _________________

8800 GTS 320mb Oh and after some googling It seems most people's idle at 40c and go to around 60 under load, so I guess 33ish is fine  woot it's dead silent now too, cant hear it at all. _________________

that should b fine for ur graphics card (core) as they tend to run hot... mine runs that idle... and its surpose to be like it  (goes to about 70 underload, just came off cod4 and its at 62...) u can change the tempreture warning on it to what ever temp u want... cant remember how to though... _________________ Games: DC, CSS, BF2, Insurgency, Cod2, Cod4, Cod5, BFBC2, Surpreme Commander, Hidden Source, bfbc2/vietnam, Cod black ops, need for speeds (underground 1 and 2, prostreet, hot pursuit, most wanted), juiced 1 and 2, im sure theres more...

The C2D chips were designed to take heat quite well... like up to 75C and then worry sort of temps. Not quite as durastic as the nVidia cores obviously, but as far as CPUs go thats pretty warm.  _________________

Actually I just get really sweaty. And those hairy things we men like to call balls (not sure if you'd know what I'm talking about here maddog  ) get very sweaty and make the room really hot which then makes my PC smokin hot! _________________
