Some run a little hotter than others. I have a couple similar systems with Alphas and they almost never go above 40c- one has high speed fans on the Alphas and it stays below 35c. I have a lot of case ventilation though, and it is VERY important. I changed 2 of my exhaust fans to higher speed models and lost 4 degrees on the cpus.
