Temperature

I just built my first rig and when i run my temp prog my cpu 1 is about 5-10 degrees cooler then cpu2. I have an amd athlon 64 3500+. When i checked right after some high end gaming, cpu1 was at 46c and cpu2 was at 51c. Thats the highest i have seen it. Do i need better cooling? Is this a good temp to be at? I also checked the bios and they are about the same there.. it says the cpu is about 42-47c.

Also, what temp prog do you use to check?

Thanks

Those temps are quite fine. Higher than 55C is the level that you should worry about with an AMD.

I use SpeedFan

SpeedFan is a program to measure temp and control fan speeds?
