I just installed a new Cooler Master hyper 212 Plus and I'm wondering what temperatures I should be seeing in my system now?

I have an AMD Athlon II Regor 250 Socket AM3 CPU

I have an MSI Radeon 5770 1GB Video Card

4GB of Corsair XMS2 Ram

2 500GB WD HDD's.

I have CPUID and when I run it I'm getting the following temps:

At the top where it says temperatures I get:

Tempin0 Low 39C high 39C
Tempin1 31C 32C
Tempin2 37C 37C

Fans
Fan0 636 rpm 640 rpm

Fans PWM
FanPWM0 0 0
FanPWM1 0 0
FanPWM2 99% 99%

MOBO Voltage 1.46 1.47


AMD Athlon II X2 250
Temperatures
Core 0 26C 27C
Core 1 26C 27C

Powers
Processor 64.40W 64.40W

Radeon HD 5770
Temperatures
GPU Core 46C 49C

HDD 1 37C 37C
HDD 2 34C 34 C


If you want I can copy and paste the txt file that CPUID monitor creates?

 
Those temperatures are all excellent. The core temps should not go above 60C on load and if they are idling at 27C, then I can't see them going that high. Hard drives should be kept below 40C and your graphics card is excellent. My 3870 idles at 50C and hit 67C on load and I consider that excellent. Usually a GPU should be kept below 90C. I like below 80C though. This is of course a generalization but accurate for what you have.

I just logged in to Age of Conan and ran around a bit then went into a city and ran around the exited and checked the temps the GPU temp went up to 67C and the CPU temps didn't rise above 30C. Then I ran PCMark05 and the temps stayed pretty god with the GPU hitting 71C at the highest.

I was worried that i didn't use enough thermal paste as I made a dot the size of a small pencil eraser in the middle of the CPU and I put a much smaller dab on each of the copper pipes that touch the CPU. I guess it was enough :). The paste that comes with the hyper 212 plus is kind of tough to work with because it's so stiff.

thanks again for all the help guys!!

Next project is to learn how to overclock my system :), but I'm going to wait a few days to make sure that everything is still running good first.
