I built my computer about a week ago. I dont know if I my cpu and motherboard temperature are normal or not. Can somebody please tell me if this is good or not? Idle temp cpu - 43 C motherboard - 33 C gpu - 47 C
When i play games like prototype, crysis cpu - 58 C mother board - 38 C gpu - 64 C
I have three 120 mm case fans. One in back, one on side and one in front.
Your temps look OK but they could be better. What's the room temp?
The air is supposed to flow in thru the front & out thru the back. Side fans muck up that airflow pattern. Try unplugging the side fan & see how that affects your temperature readings.
BTW, where are you getting the readings from - software or the BIOS? The BIOS *should* be more accurate. If you're using software, compare those readings to the BIOS readings.
