Hi everybody.

Just built a new system a few weeks ago and have been getting a bit concerned with my temps.

My setup is a Phenom II 955 with a xiggy dark knight heatsink and mx-2 TIM. first time applying TIM, i used two line method and twisted DK.

Case is a CM Storm Scout with an extra 120mm intake fan in the bottom 3 front 5 1/4 drive bays.

System idles around 44c and hits about 54c at full load.

Lemme know what you guys think, too high? ideas to get it lower? ps. don't want to buy a new heatsink.

Thanks for any help you can offer.

54C at load is very respectable. Idle of 44 is maybe a bit high, but I don't think you need to worry about it.
