Check my temps [OC noob]

Hi,

I've just powered up my PC and these are the temps I'm getting from 8 smallFFT workers in Prime95.

I've got a Megahalems with Akasa Apache push-pull, and I'm using MX-3 TIM. Are these OK temps for stock?

Edit: I just stopped the tests and within 2 seconds all cores were at mid-30s. Sound good? It was idling at 29C before I started.

I've got a Fractal Define R2, with fans everywhere they can go except the base. The sides are off at the moment. I was wondering whether my cooler is seated properly, I screwed it down until I got scared something was going to break, and used about two peas-worth of TIM.

At the moment I'm only 10C off your 4GHz temps, and I'm at 2.8GHz. Should I be worried?

Oh dear - I took a picture at the time, I'll upload it.

Sounds like too much:

Balls - it is worth me removing the cooler and re-applying? It'd be nice to reach 4GHz.

I'll try that next, just got to sort a few cables out. I don't really want to take the cooler off (obviously

), so I'll try anything!

Little update, I've put the sides back on and added a slow 140mm fan in the side for the graphics cards. I've also upped the bclk to 160MHz so I'm running at 3.37GHz with Turbo.

Here's what I've got (I haven't reseated):
