I just got new parts for my rig and i was wonder what temps would be okay for idle and load. Bios says that my cpu temp is 36c and mobo is 30c.i have windows vista ultimate 64-bit but because of the new parts i can't load windows just yet. Hopefully i can find a cd for vista otherwise i am going to go out and get windows 7

The only problems with a bios reading is that you cannot see it in windows. When you get the O/S installed get HWMonitor (freeware) and keep the CPU Core Temps at <60c under load and the CPU Temp at less than <70c.
