CPU temps look fine. System temps seem high. Neither of my machines ever go above 35°c. My game system never goes above 31°.

Could be the it's being reported incorrectly. What type of motherboard do you have? What type of case? Cooling?

Those all appear nominal to me, though it looks like you might have a hotspot somewhere in your case, where hot air is just hovering around. Try locating it and placing an exhaust fan in that general location. A good place to start would be the area around the large group of capacitors next to the processor, usually directly underneath the PSU and right next to the CPU HSF. Other than that, nothing to really worry about.

It COULD be, especially if you experience lock-ups during intensive graphic rendering processes (gaming, mostly). But I'd say it's probably just a spot of stagnant air that tends to heat up, where there is little airflow. Again, the temps aren't THAT high to worry much about it. Any temperatures reaching above 55-60 and you should start figuring out how to bring them down.
