I recently built a new PC and I think it went pretty well. The computer specs are http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?k...QscWGqscwVUReg

The CPU temp is good (I think)- it idles at about 21-25C and gets up around 45C under full load (3Dmark06). I think I should be about to OC the processor a bit and still be fairly safe, but I'm going to wait a little while to do that.

What I'm wondering about are the MB, NB, and SB temps (listed in the PC Probe II monitoring program). I'm not sure where exactly the readings are taken at, but Idling these are about 45, 45, and 41 respectively. 45 seems to be the cutoff right where the meter turns red in pc probe...are those OK temps or should I be worried? Under load they only go up about 5-10C.
