i have recently been checking my cpu and case temps (using the BIOS and motherboard monitor 5). [all temps in cel.]. the case reads around 28 idle and 30 on load. which i thought was pretty good. the cpu however reads around 38-40 idle and 68 on load. which i think is a bit too hot. ive got stock cooling and im not overclocking it. has anyone got any suggestions on what to do?

if your CPU is Prescott not Norhwood so temps are good, but if Northwood i think a little bit too high

What motherboard do you have?
Abit IC series - your temp is okay because IC series board report higher temp than actual; Asus P4P(c)800 reports lower.
