Hey.


CPU type: DualCore AMD Athlon 64 X2, 3000 MHz (15 x 200) 6000+ (Using it with a cheap third party CPU fan running at 13500.

Motherboard: Asus M2N-SLI Deluxe

My question is when i Browse the internet and stuff the cpu temperatur is at around 30 C, and when I play games Like Fear 2, it rises up to about 50 C, after playing a While. Is those temperatures to high? The Motherboard keeps a respective 35-40 C all the time.

Also I have no fans blowing air into the the case just a two fans blowing hot air out. One is in the PSU, and one is over the VGA Card.
Note: There is a two fans mounted in PCI slot, that blows cool air towards the CPU.
Is that enough or should I have Side-fans and fans blowing air into the case.

Those temps are not only finer but finer than mine. After 15 mins of Far Cry 2 and Crysis, my e5200 is up tp 58 C and that's using an aftermarket cooler. Prior to the cooler, the stock Intel HSF "only cooled" the cores to 68 C!
