Mainboard 50 CPU 55 HDD 43
These are the usual system temps. with an ambient temp. of 30. Only light computer usage. Are they excessively high? Should I investigate possible causes and/or remedies?

I think it is high, my ambient is 10C, MB 23C and cpu 39C. True your ambient is 30C but the MB & CPU temps should be much lower.

Thats a little high but expected with an ambient temp of 30, clean your cpu fan and the case, make sure you have enough air flow through the case, invest in a better CPU fan/heatsink. As for airflow put one fan in the front sucking air in, one in the back pushing it out.
