Okay, so I just bought a new rig, first build, everything went dandy.

Now I want some info on the temps, as I'm looking to buy some case fans as there isn't much good air flow in my PC.

So, idle is 35c.
Full load is 50c (This is also in a VERY hot room, it's a small room with 2 PC's running, with it slightly cooler with no heating and good cool air it's around 40-45c, also as said airflow in my PC is bad)

I have a cooler on the CPU as well, but I just want to make sure that my temps are ok considering I have bad airflow in the case and I'm in a hot room.

Thank you all.
 
Intel core i52500k sandybridge @3.30Ghz
Mobo is gigabyte p67a-udc

Also there is no cable tidying in my case either :P
 
I'm no expert but those look like reasonable temps given the environment you describe. My 2500k at idle is around 30C with fans.

120mm apache fans are nice and quiet. I installed one recently. Can't hear it running.
 
Yeah atm, there's nothing in my case that is extracting the hot air, I have the PSU chucking in warm air, the front fan taking in cold air but then my CPU cooler is cooling the CPU then the air from that just goes no where.

Was thinking of getting 2 fans on top that will put air in and out and one on the side that will be kinda powerful, those apache ones look good, but the cheaper Zalman and Scythe Kaze might be a better choice.

Might get 2x Zalman ones on the top of the case and an apache for the side to push the air in.
 
The temperatures sound absolutely fine. Are you sure the PSU is blowing into the case? It should be exhausting hot air out the back if it's installed correctly.
 
The PSU has a fan on top of it, and it can go either way, it was installed upside down inside the case so the air was going nowhere, there isn't anywhere else for it to go.

It's no exactly a good PSU either, coolermaster elite 500w, I'm investing in a new PSU in a few months for when I OC but it's doing it's job now.
