Is my new CPU temperature normal?

[Simpleton]

I have an Athlon 64 3000+ and an ASUS K8N socket 754.
I just finished to build my computer.
I wonder if 40 degrees Celsius when playing games in the internet (multiplayer) is the correct operating temperature.
It jumps from 30 degrees (when I am just browsing in the internet or doing other tasks)to 40 when playing multiplayer.


My case has a 120 mm exhasut fan in the rear and one 92 mm intake in the front besides the heatsink and fan from the manufacturer.Also I have a 120 mm fan build into my power supply that helps ventilation.

Thanks for your time.

Ya, it's the nforce chipset. It makes that thing run like heII but stay cool. Got to love it.

No problem. 40C under load is fine.
