temps dont s-eem that bad. but is it really 43 C/109 F inside your case? your gpu ambient seems high to my liking as well. take off the side of the case and use a house fan, or put your pc on the floor instead of a desk where it is typically warmer by 10-20 degrees F. if you have your pc in a cabinet, etc. take it out of that to see if the temps get lower. are these the temps on idle-just pc on for a few hours not gaming, etc. or is this the temps right after WoW crashes and you check it? if these are the temps on idle, that very hot, i hate to know what they get to gaming.

my pc stats for a64 3200, 1GB ram, Chaintech 6800 (128MB) after gaming for hours in CoD2, etc. tops at
cpu -45C
gpu -68C
gpu ambient -55
mobo -26C

before i moved it to the floor all temps were about 5-10C higher.
