cooling

[pattroon]

i have a nvidia 730a motherboard with a xfx geforce 9800gt, amd athlon 64, and seagate barracuda 7200 hd. my case is a xclio godspeed one it has 2 180mm side fans and 2 80mm hood fans and 1 120mm in the front. at idle it run around 47*C and under full load playing games it runs 57~60*C im using speed fan to get my temps. my motherboard has a gauge on it also it stays around 41*C no matter what i do play music get on the web etc. is this cool enough or do i need to add another fan for exhaust.

What is running "around 47*C and under full load playing games it runs 57~60*C"? The Athlon 64 or your video card?

If it's the CPU, those temps are a bit on the high side. What kind of cooler are you using? Is the fan operating properly and clear of any dust?

motherboard says 47 and gpu is mid to high 50's. yea all fans are running and everything is brand new.

should be fine with that temp for the chipset (its a little on the warm side, but still fine). and the video card, if your running high 50's when gaming, thats running pretty cool for the 9800GT, my 9800GTX runs idle around 45-50C, and when gaming is between 50 & 80C.
