i have a amd athlon 1500+ im wondering if its temp is normal.. it run on a minimum of 51C on night and 52C-54C on morning specially in noon...

by the way i leave in a tropical country and im using only fan to cool my cpu.
 
though that is high, i'm assuming that you're using the stock cooler as well? if you add two case fans (one intake and one exhaust), as well as install a better cpu heatsink/fan you will definitely get better temps

for an athlon 1500+ i'd say average idle temp is about 44*C, and especially with all of that case cooling i'm surprised you're running so hot. what is the ambient temp in that case?

44C?! im running so hot! i dont know man.. i check the wheather forecast, 24*C is the lowest and 33*C the highest so probably a slight different with the my ambient.. i dont have air condition so all the cooling came from a stand fan!!!
