hi, i new but i have an asus a8n sli deluxe mobo with an AMD Athlon 64 4400+ X2 and my graphics card is a nVidia 7800GTX.... I think that the temps are a little high but i dont know.. here are the temps that everest home edition gives me...

Motherboard 33C/91F
CPU 34C/93F
GPU 42C/108F
GPU ambient 37C/99F

(these are the same temps that asus probe gives me as well)

now the above are when almost idle. just got msn, yahoo, windows media player and a few other background things going along with a few firefox windows..

i was playing Half Life 2 on highest settings and these are the temps that came up

CPU 43C
GPU 52C
Motherboard 35C

I think that these temps are quite high but i am not sure. I have standard air cooling for all the parts and then i have an extraction fan at the back of my case (about 10cm in diameter i think)... the case is an alienware... are these temps normal if not any help would be appreciated. oh and i had a friend who had high temps. he updated his bios (this was an abit an8 ultra motherboard) and the temps went from about 40C to 25C. my bios version is Phoenix v6.00PG... thanks for the help in advance
