whats a good temp?

[Lasrix]

Whats a good tempature my computer/cpu should be running at? i have 2 fans blowing into the computer from the front, 1 blowing in from the side, and 2 blowing out the back. Ontop of the extra fan blowing down from the PSU.

Try to shoot below 55 on load, and below 45 on idle. That would be my guess. But I would want about >40 idle personally.

any good programs that are accurate with the stats on temp? im to busy to go into the bias and look.

Motherboard Monitor 5 will give u temps in windows

I get 33-35 idle and 45-47 full load

Bios is the most accurate.

I get 50C idle and 62C at load. I don't mind honestly because right now it's still cold outside and my mother is nuts about heating bills so the house it kept at a comfortable 63F. So my processor being so hot actually keeps my room nice and warm

Of course in the summer I might be singing another tune

Very true, but mbm5 is about 2-3 degrees to the actual
