Whats up guys

am a little worried I purchased

AMD 3500+
MSI Neo2 Platinum
and MGE's Viper Case url: http://www.newegg.com/app/View...=11-171-053&depa=1

my question is.. the (temp wire) on this case i set it next to the cpu, i didn't know where to put it so i put it in the heatsinks grills if that is what you would call it all the way to the bottom to the part that touches the processor.. the Temp it reads is (thru the display of the case (LCD thing)) it reads normal 36c, running games like Farcry and Doom 3 it jumps too 41c, now when i go to the Bios the normal reads 41c, so that would mean that when running games it jumps to 46c should i be worried about this.. or are my fans in the wrong places or throwing air the wrong way...

2 80mm fans throwing air out next to each other
1 80mm fan blowing air in by the front of the case,
Power supply has small fan under it
BFG video card has 2 little fans pointing down
and the left hand side fan where the viper sign is at is blowing air in..

should i check something, or am i just freaking out for no reason???
 
your temps are perfectly normal. you shouldnt be freaking out about it. 🙂 anyways, cpu's wont fry from overheating like you would expect anymore. the system just wont post or it'll shut down. thank god for failsafes. 🙂 amd athlon cpu's can easily take up to 65-70 degrees C.
