ASUS CUSL2-C & P3-933 What Temp?

[Guest]

Just put this together (no o/c) boxed CPU with Intel Fan and thermal pad(ECH!) System open and Bios reads CPU 52.5 to 54C at Idle. Seems a tad hot to me as my other system is a TB800/KT7 Raid and its at 38 to 42C. Anybody know whats normal for this setup? BTW Mobo temp 27C

Rick, thanks for your post. Please check out my other post "Overclocking"-CPU and the threads there (same question as I posted here) You are right I should have mentioned this one sits open on my computer workbench.I usually use 2 case fans plus open bottom PS for additional cooling when I close them up and always when I overclock.
Got a couple of those CEL366's at 550.
