I have an AMD Phenom 2 x4 920 processor running at stock speeds(2.8 Ghz). While gaming, its temperature rises to 66 * C. And my GPU, which is an ATI 4770's temp rises to 72* C. Are these normal values?
I use the stock coolers. Thanks for the help in advance

Well this seems just a little bit high but no trouble here. Are all fans working correctly? Need some more fans maybe? CPU temperature is good, video card seems a bit high. Check out whats it's max heat level and check if there's a heat protection not to destroy your card

^ Don't listen to this guy. AMD themselves specs the maximum CPU temperature for your 920 at 62C. Your processor is running way too hot, especially at stock.
