hey guys i have the 3200+ @ 2.5 and when i have my home a/c on it stays around 27-30c but when i left it on overnight and woke up it was around 35-37c, so i try keeping my a/c on when i can, but i still have stock cooling, should i get something better? or is that fine? all the other stuff in my case keep cool i have two 120mm fans, and i just cut on the sides of my front panel so more can get sucked in...it even reaches my vga in the back.i still hve the stock cooling for the northbridge chip and have a zalman heatsink ready just incase the fan does on my...is there anything i need? maybe a better cpu cooling?

Yea, dont worry about that. My old Athlon XP1900 runs between 55 - 65 degrees and is still going strong after years.Comment

Re: do i need better cooling?
As all have stated above. Those temps are perfect. The increase is only because the ambient temp. in the room increase w/o A/C. You're well within normal operating parameters.Comment

I think most gamers like colder weather. Better ambient temps for more FPS .

Need2kill, your comp is pretty cool. Mine idles at about 36c, with ambient 33c temps. My vid card idles at about 44c, about 60 in game.Comment

Except for when your window freezes shut, causing the room to get incredibly hot because the furnace is going, then your PC overheats.Originally posted by sandmanI think most gamers like colder weather. Better ambient temps for more FPS .
