too cool? i don't think you can be too cool. The cooler, the faster, the better. 28-30 degrees is really really good - almost hard to beleive

A cooler CPU doesn't run any faster or better than a CPU running stable at higher temperatures.

That system is too COLD. You must put more load on the cpu. I suggest joining the PCMech Folding Team. Just follow the link in my sig. I have two F@Hs running and my cpu is 55C.

Seriously, you don't have to worry about the temps. It's normal to have those temps while surfing since browsers do not use that much resources (which keeps the system temps low).

That sounds about right for an Intel system.
