I assembled my new pc two days ago and everything is running well.

My final specs are
CPU: Q9450 2.67 Ghz
CPU Cooling: Stock Cooling
Motherboard: ASUS P5E X38
RAM: Corsair XMS2 2x2GB DDR2 800 CAS L 5
Graphics: BFG 8800GTS 512 OC
Sound: Supreme FX II
1 Hard Drive: Samsung HD753LJ 750 GB 32 MB cache 7200rpm
2 Hard Drive: WD 120 GB 8 MB cache 7200rpm
CD/DVD Drive: CD/DVD RW
Monitor: 17in Liquid Video
Power Supply: Antec 600w
Mouse: Logitech G5
Keyboard: Eclipse II
Other: Windows Vista 32-bit Premium

I run crysis on a mix of very high and high get 20-40 fps average, very playable.

Here is my 3dmark vantage score: http://service.futuremark.com/home [...] ultType=19

The temps are 52-60 C for all cores on idle and 60C full. And GPU is 60C idle and 85C load. I think they are acceptable, right?

Any comments are welcome. :)

52-60 on idle is bad. It will overshoot thermal threshold on full load. You'll need to do something about that.

 

85C on load for gpu is well within acceptable range, but still not ideal. My 8800gts @780mhz does not exceed 60C on max load.

 

And what did you use to stress cpu? Crysis is not "stressing" for cpu. Prime95 in small ffts, set to run on all 4 cores, is.

I re-checked my temps. It runs 40-50C idle and 60C load I use core temp.

I downloaded Real Temp and its 15-10 C lower so I don't know which to trust.

Core temp reports actual core temperature, so it's higher. The range of temperature is still quite low, what did you use to stress it?

I'm not sure. Haven't bothered running 3dmark vantage. Many people, including myself still stick to 3dmark06 because it allows you to run it an unlimited number of times without buying. Few people would actually pay money for benchmarking.

 

Temperatures look good.

High temps on idle and little change to full could indicate a stuck temperature diode. You could potentially RMA it if you want, your choice.

85 C on the GPU seems high, but not really anything you can do about it. As long as it doesn't have artifacts showing in games.
