question about my case and cpu temps?

my cpu is a celeron 1ghz 100mhz fsb. my case is a generic one i got off of ebay. its a mid-tower case with a 300w psu. i will be upgrading to a full-tower antec case in a month. the temp my cpu is giving when idle is 31 c. on a full load, it goes to 43c. the temp on my case idle is 28 c. on a full load it goes to 31 c. are these temps decent? or should i try and cool them down some. i already have a thermaltake smart fan blowing air out the back of the case. i'm using the heatsink/fan that came with my celeron. any opinions would be much appriciated. thanks

Those temps are great. I wouldn't worry until your temps got well into the 50s, and then I would consider different cooling options. No need to worry.

CPU temps are great, case temps may be a bit warm, but if you're in a warm climate without airconditioning, there isn't much you can do about it. An extra fan to blow some more air through the case wouldn't hurt if you're concerned.

The stock Intel fan is all a Celeron will ever need.

I also noticed that the pc is clocked at 1010ghz. is that right? Also the cpu core voltage is 1.8. i set it to 1.75 in the BIOS but MBM 5 says its at 1.8. I have 2 core voltage readings and both say 1.8v. thanks for all the help so far. just wanna make sure everything is ok. When I get home later today, i will tell you the other voltages on the pc. thanks again

I would believe 1010 "M"hz............

Unless you want to overclock, I would set the core voltage to AUTO and let it take care of itself.
