Are these temps fine?

I recently covered the insides of my BitFenix Shinobi with a ton of foam for sound-reducing reasons and used the ultra low noise adapters on my case fans from Noctua. So these temps are probably a bit higher than they otherwise would be.

Anyway.

At 4.4 Ghz, stock volts, I got an average of about 63-64c after running Prime95 for an hour.

Is this fine?

Thanks.

I really didn't test it.

Every review I've seen said it does make a good amount of difference.

I don't use the PC enough yet to have made any comment anyway, even without testing.
However, it does cover a ton. Right down to the vent holes next to the PCI-E slots.

It gives me enough to cover:

*Both side panels
*Front side
*Top side
*Entire bottom
*Rear fan area
*Vent area besides PCI slots

The only areas it doesn't really cover are PCI slots, below the PSU and some hard to reach/narrow areas (corners, edges of side panels etc.).

I've not used all the foam though, I've left space for the for 2 Noctua case fans and I intentionally left one fan mount free of foam.
 
What CPU are you using?

Edit: Just saw your sig, going by that I think its pretty normal. The ivys do have a tendicay to get a bit hotter than older Intels.
