My QX6700 seems to be running a little hot

[XtAsY]

Its runs at about 45 degs C on idle and about 53 degs C under load. Using a Zalman CNPS9700 running at full fan speed. I was thinking, my PC is actually sitting on my desk under my bed (I have one of those high beds) I was wondering, maybe this is causing the high temps as the warm air cannot rise due to the bottom of the bed being near to the top of the case? All help much appreciated

Thanks for the responses

Everything is running at stock. I was just curious about my temps becuase I've seen people with the QX6700 runnning at 40 on idle on air. Then again, my room is always pretty warm and my case is in a closed in kind of area so its expected really. May consider water cooling at some point because I'd like a quieter system and having the CNPS9700 runnning at full RPM is pretty noisy

I've turned the radiator in my room all the way down. My CPU temps are now around 40-42 degs C on idle. It's not like I need the radiator on anyway as its a small room and the heat from the PC can pretty much keep it warm in here

Well, this is my new idle temperature after turning the radiator off in the room. Full load is now about 48- 50 degs C.
