Just wondering if they are sposed to run quite cool? Mines running at 27oC just after a lengthy session on DoD. Im using one of the old Zalman copper coolers. Just seems to be very cool.
 
To me that sounds great, it mite raise slightely, say in the 30's if you played it for a long period etc etc...

But that sounds about rite quite frankly.
 
Indeed...36 at idle i believe is about the average "most" users get, of course it depends on the room enviroment and the case design intself etc etc also :)

The BIOS isn't idle, you often see lower temps in windows than in the BIOS, so 36 degrees is fine :) Especially with it being so warm at the moment.
 
Mine is happily sat on 39 @ idle (i.e. now !) and that is with a pretty decent (25%) overclock......
 
Not 3800, but 4400+ OC to 2.5ghz, idle 30, but under load 44 (stock HPF) couple of degrees. Probably a bit warmer overall due to VFC 900 instead of exhaust videocard cooler, and of course now warmer weather.
