Normal with stock cooling.

These are fine, don't worry yourself, enjoy your computer and yes,
overclock if you wish, but then you might want to consider a better CPU
cooler and perhaps another chassis fan.

yeah ihave a 2500 barton and it seems to run idle at 48 C and when i
overclock it to 2800 equivalent and now runs at 52 C idle and wont
stay under 60C unless i have all 7 fans in my case going which is
quite loud..

I have the Gigabyte 7N400 pro 2, any suggestions on why it runs so
hot??
