hey guys,

I recently purchased an e6300 with an ASUS P5B-e mobo. I LOVE the setup, faster than I could have hoped. I have a mild overclock goin, currently @ 2.4g, but my temps aren't as low as I was hoping for, currently 41c idle, 47c load. I did purchase an artic cooler for it, don't know if that was even worth it. My question is this: are my temps currently within the acceptable limits or do I need to do something to get them down? I just want to be sure I am not prematurely aging my CPU by having such high temps. Thx all.
