Are these temps ok?

Had this PC up and running since around May, but I only was able to overclock it seriously since now. Here are my results:

These are at stock volts. I know CPUID HM is inaccurate sometimes, but are these temps ok? Using a Fenrir to cool my 965 and it reaches 73c on max load on an hour of Prime, and it seems high to me. It's idling at 37c at the moment. This is my first proper overclocking, my first go was when I was using Ntunes to overclock the FSB on an acer pc :rolleyes:

.

EDIT: Was thinking of replacing the fan on the fenrir and create a push-pull setup, what fan would be good for a CPU cooler?

I noticed there was different CPU fan options on my Crosshair III, was on Optimal but decided to try Performance mode. I'll leave it to run Prime overnight and see what temps I get. Has anyone else replaced the fan on their Fenrir? I was considering: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FG-003-GD&groupid=701&catid=57&subcat=4

Temps are ok mate, but quite high for a AMD CPU.

Temps are now 66c max with the new fan settings. It survived 8 hours of Prime pain. Think I'll leave the overclock where it is... I don't want higher temps
