I just checked my temperatures using SpeedFan and they seem quite high but I dont know if they're normal or not! I just have the stock heatsink/fan and my case is an antec ultimate gaming 900 which I would've thought might cool things down better.. anyway here are the temps:

Is that normal for such low cpu usage, or does the heatsink need to be re-mounted with fresh thermal paste or something?

Cheers
 
Yeah its not overclocked or anything, just completely stock. Havent tested the temps when I'm playing games yet but I'll give that a go soon to see what its like. Would I notice an improvement in performance if I invested in a higher quality heatsink/fan?
