I've OCed my E4300 to 2.7ghz and am kinda worried about the temps.

Granted, it's a warm day, but TAT reports and IDLE of 50c on both cores.

Worst still is Speedfan (which I'm not completely sure how to read):

Temp1: 54c (it has a nice flame by the temp reading, not the best of signs).
Temp2: 40c
Temp3: -2
HD0: 52c (again, a nice flame by the side off it; 52c is bloody hot for a HDD, right??:S)
HD1: 37c
Core 0: 33c
Core 1: 33c

My motherboard is a gigabyte DS3 and my gfx card is a 2900XT (yes, I know, it doesn't help the temps). the three "temp#" readings have IT8712F by them when I go into the "configure" option of Speedfan.

I have 1 92mm intake fan, 1 92mm outtake fan, my 120mm PSU fan is on max, I have a Big Typhoon on the CPU that has a hole in the ide of the case so it can have fresh air, I have also a 120mm fan on the bottom of the side panel cooling the gfx card. I assumed this would be good enough for the cooling, but the case is kinda small.

Can someone tell me if these temps are reasonable or am I verging on meltdown??
 
The DS3's southbridge gets quite hot and the northbridge gets very hot resulting in high case temps. I sorted the northbridge temp with a fan over the heatsink but it made little difference to the CPU temps.

I've a E2160 stock volts of 1.325v and at default clocks (1.8GHz) it idles around 40-45c and load is around 65-70c yet when I overclock it (all I do is increase the FSB, no volts need increased etc) to 3GHz the temps are pretty much the same. I'm also using a Thermaltake Big Typhoon and it's heatpipes and heatsink fins are cold which I think is strange.
 
Exactly the same as mine :| the cpu HSF is cool.

I've sorted the HHD problem out, I forgot I stuffed it into the DVD drive bay area with no cooling, I didn't know they got so hot though :mad:.

The northbridge/southbridge do get ridiculously hot though, I'm just wondering if running at these temps could result in serious system instability.
 
I'm running a DS3, I know they get very hot to the touch, but mine have always been that way, I've not suffered any problems yet :) I would assume if Gigabyte had thought it was a problem they would have put bigger heatsinks on em, specially when they get this warm at stock...
