too much heat ???

[gagnon]

i think it seems to be o.k. but i want your opinion :
full load: 55 C (after an hour of quake3) mobo: 32
idle: 48 C (temp room 25 C) mobo: 30
taisol CEK734092 big heat sink with stock crap fan on it (60x60x10)

does those temp is o.k. if i don't want to overclock at all ???
temp monitor = asus probe (in bios, asus tell that the reading seems to be higher than other hardware monitor but is more accurate ... )
if i use as2, how many degrees lower can i expect ??


thank u

i think it is the stock fan that is holding you back on that taisol i would either get a Delta or a YS tech for that and get a little better case cooling because Tbirds run pretty hot
