I've recently bought new components to put in my system. I got a phenom 940, corsair dominator ddr2, 4850 toxic, gigabyte MA770-UD3 (AM2+). Now, my idle temps for my cpu are around 40-42 degrees which to me seem very high and under max load is around 65, which again seems high seeing as though i am using an artic cooling freezer 64 pro cpu cooler.

Are my temps really too high? :confused:

I though this problem might be due to me not having any intake fans on my case and only 2 80mm fans pushing air out at the back and top of my case (which is and aspire x-plorer, i know, not great.) So i've bought some new fans. But do i have to take off my front panel of my case to install front intake fans? and if so how do i take it off?? :(
