CPU: 39deg C, MOBO: 35deg C. That's okay, right? Cooling ????'s.

My AIDA32 is giving me these temperature readings.
As y'all may or may not know, I am on a steep learning curve concerning my first PC build. Sometimes I get spooked easily. I am just wondering of these are okay. PC is running fine. Stable. Fast.

Also, if my Lian-Li PC-65B feels a bit warm up top, is there something I can use to get a surface temperature reading?

It resides in a computer desk. You know the kind. It had an integral space for a tower. Enclosed on the top, bottom, and sides. Open in front and back.

I use stock cooling. Stock HS and HSF on P4/3.2 CPU.
GPU has factory fan.
Enermax has an intake fan on bottom, and exhaust fan on rear.
Two front case intake fans. One top case exhaust fan. One rear case exhaust fan. My tower does reside in a computer desk. It just slides in it's cubbyhole. There appears to be ample air circulation. The sides feel cool. A few nights ago, the front top was very warm after playing a lot of HALO.
The CPU has fluctuated up to 40deg C.


Regards,

Burt

Those temps are perfectly fine.

You don't have to worry until either of them go over 65C.
