My Phenom II x6 1100T is running around 40-42 degrees Celcius idle.
Not OC'd atm.
I'm using the Cooler Master Hyper 612S.
Using the thermal paste which came with my 612S.

This seems a little high to me..
What do you guys think?

See my awesome paint drawing for my airflow xD

Hmm..
I've seen people with an idle temp of 24 Celcius with a fx-8350. Ambient temp of 22 Celcius
(With the 612 V2, but still, a lot of difference. It even has 2 cores more, and still a lotttt cooler!)
