Following on from my previous thread where my PC overheated,

I have now added some beefer fans, a front grill and grabbed some stress tests and temp readings for my system.

In XP idle the readings were,
Board - 48 C
CPU 1 - 52 C
CPU 2 - 50 C

When running it at 100% via the stress test both CPU temperatures went up to the point that my BIOS Fan monitor cut in at 60 C and increased the air speed which reduced the temperature...

These CPUs are 3.4 Ghz 800Mhz Xeons by the way.
My question really is , would you leave this so that it just beefed up the air flow when they get to hot, or do these seem to running extra hot and I should really address this issue first...

What do you think guys !?
