hi, i just built my first pc. i've got a 3.0 Prescott 1 MB L2 cache processor with an x800 pro graphics card. i got these temperatures using motherboard monitor and atitool after playing far cry for an hour (all settings on very high).

max. CPU temperature 52°C
max. VGA temperature 68°C

these are my idle temperatures :

CPU 39°C
VGA 38°C

are these temperatures okay? i haven't used the "torture test" with prime95. i'll post temperatures after running that. PLEASE HELP!!!
 
thanks guys. i ran the "in-place large FFTs" stress test of prime95 for 52 minutes and my CPU temperature was about 52-53°C during most of the test. i'll run the other stress tests and report my results. also, it might be useful to know that my side, top and rear case are exhausting air. thanks guys.
 
kinda ot, but how are 9800xt temps compared to x800 pros?

EDIT: I guess I'm asking do temps vary that much between the higher end chips? ie: 9800pro, 9800xt, x700 pro, x800 pro...
