3800+ Idle Temperatures

depends on other factors, what your airflow is like, how many hot components you have in your machine, ambient temp of your room etc etc.
i think mine idles around 35C, sitting in a SC750A full tower housing a 6600GT, dvdrw and 7 hdds (including 1 small scsi drive), running at stock 3800+ speeds. but in my tower, theres no proper intakes fan that arent blocked but steel casing and no real exhaust fans bar the psu fan, an extra fan near the cpu would do wonders for me.
which is why im going to move that file server into a cm200 case for better airflow for the hdds and hopefully better overall temps as it has some actual intake/exhaust fans.
