New build finished, how are these temps?

[barch 88]

Just got done with my build:

ASUS Rampage II Extreme w/ XiFI Sound
Intel Core i7-920 -D0 version @ Stock clock
Corsair Dominator DDR3 6GB @ 1333
Corsair HX850W
WD Raptor 74GB
WD Caviar Black 640GB
(2) Sapphire Radeon 5850's in CrossfireX
XIGMATEK Dark-Knight heatsink w/ Arctic Silver 5 paste
Antec 1200 case - all stock fans.

I'm wondering how these temps are, this is with games running, and around idle I'm getting low 40's, high 30's. Gaming seems to be around high 40's, low/mid 50's. Prime95 Blend-Test @ 100% CPU load, I'm getting temps in the high 70's and 80's with all 8 threads/cores running.

Thanks for the help.

The temps from gaming are OK.

Yeah, gaming temps seemed good to me as well. I think the idle and max load temps are pretty high though, I may try to re-seat the heatsink. The Direct-Pipe type of heatsinks are a bit tricky, or so I've read over the past day.

So I re-seated my heatsink...went from 80+ in full load. Check out these new load temps, looks solid around high 50's. Idle temps didn't go down too much, but load is all I care about. With the Dark-Knight (direct-touch) heatsink, I had to squeeze some paste into the cracks between the pipes, then I just did a couple blobs/lines on the center of CPU, looks like it worked much better. Last time when I spreaded the paste myself, the heatsink didn't even have any paste on it when i took it off!
