Power Fan - 4963
Chasis Fan - 1418

+5V - 4.919
+3.3V - 3.248
Vcore - 1.088

Your temperatures are well under control so no problems there.
The 12volt rail is a little low but nothing to worry about.
What PSU are you running, is it of reasonable quality?

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. The PSU came with the case (Gazelle). It's a 450Watt PSU but I don't know who makes it. I just wanted to make sure that temps were okay.

My 6800GT videocard has been idling at about 60 degrees lately but I think its just due to the weather.

Thanks

The 6800GT was a particularly hot graphics card and from my own experiences of 79C plus, your 60 degrees isn't that bad.
What can I say! Gazelle, I'm sorry but I've never heard it them.
If it was supplied in a sub £40/$55 case then it isn't going to be up to much.
It's your choice but a good quality PSU is the basic backbone of any stable and reliable system.

It was a 90.00 case. It seems pretty good to me.

Paparazi is right---does the voltage fluctuate, or is it a steady 11.52VDC? I would not gamble with a cheapo PSU like that---it will take out your processor faster than an overheating problem!!! And are these idle temps? What happens when multitasking (dvd burning, cd burning, playing a game, editing photos, Norton scan,...)? What kind of processor? My P$4 3GHz with HT, 1MB L2, 800MHz FSB runs at 48-50C at idle, about 68C at the hottest.

With a $90 case the PSU is likely better than average generic, still I've never heard of this brand but I am in the UK and this make may not be imported to this region.
