Obviously pretty bad specs, I know, but you can see the temperatures.. Everything except the HDD is over 120 degrees, I dont even have much open, im watching a movie on one monitor, browser open in the other, and have minor stuff in the background.


What would help with this? I have a not bad amount of fans, I have the side panel off, so yeah, what would help with this.

I dont exactly know whats a good temperature all my stuff should be at, but 120 seems pretty high for not doing much.
 
Solution
Where are you seeing 120 degrees? I see low to mid 50's.
Are you converting to Farenheit and thinking the high number is bad?
When people refer to high temps, they are talking Celcius (80-90-100 ain't good).
50-55 celcius running some stuff is good.

Those temps look normal to me. Even at idle pc components still use a little power. the cpu in the 10 watt range plus everything else using about 20 watts more. A pesky truth about that paltry 20-25 watts is the small amount of heat generated. 120f/50c is consistent with idle level power use.
Try a stress test and see the difference in idle/load temps.
