Barton Temperature question

I have a Barton 2500+ (1.83GHz) @ 3200+ (2.2GHz) with 1.67 core voltage and with my aftermarket heatsink (It was one of the best reviewed thermaltakes a little over a year ago) and a stock case fan (very shitty), my idle temperature is at 50-51c. With my gigantic Tornado fan (5000rpm of fury), my idle temp's are at 41-42c. My motherboard is a Giga-Byte GA7N400Pro2. My friend is saying that these temperatures are way too high, but he is comparing it to his old P4 system which I don't think is an accurate comparison. Can anyone who knows anything about the Barton and overclocking shed some light on this?

The reason it is bothering me is because not too long ago, with the stock case fan, I noticed my IDLE temps spiking to around 70c, so I cleaned out all the dust and whatnot, and the temps shot down to 50c but slowly creeped up to 60c. Thats when I re-applied some AS3 and now the temps are at 50c (case fan), 43c (Tornado).

My ram is Corsair XMS 2-3-3-6 512mb if that matters at all.

Also, does anyone know where I can get a fan knob to lower/raise my fan speed? I am looking for the part in the bag: http://images10.newegg.com/productimage/35-999-111-08.JPG

Thanks in advance!

Nothing wrong with your Temp. Barton Max temp is 90C. Relax.

 
Yes, Barton's are said to be able to handle up to 85C, but that doesn't mean you should let it get anywhere near that high. The general rule is to keep the temp under 50C, which is right about where my 3200 runs at with an arctic cooler 2tc (really quiet).
