Is around 33C pretty good for fan cooling at idle?

 

[Schmide]

Yeah. About as good as it can be. Load temps are what matters.

Report back in August please.

True. Room temp is closer to 65F.

True. Room temp is closer to 65F.

yeah I think the only real indicator that you should be looking for is the "worst case scenario" so summer is the best time for you too be looking at peak load temps.
