CPU
idle 32C
load 41C

PWM IC (what is this?)
idle 44C
load 49C

Chipset
idle 40C
load 50C

I only have a nexus 120mm intake filtered. For exhaust, I have a dual fan enermax 485w, rear 80mm @ 1250rpm and an arctic cooling vga silencer 6. My cpu is on stock hs/f @ 1500rpm and chipset fan at 2000rpm.

What i dont understand is how you guys are getting 50C load on the cpu because I'm only getting 40C on stock HSF and my only intake is filtered. Could my sensors be off?

no your temps are normal. the 50c loads are higher volts than yours i'm sure, 1.5 is pretty good for 2600. also, you never know what their cases look like :p

the pwmic is the area area in between the cpu and the power/ide connectors. you can see the large heatsinks on it. from what i hear its good up to 110c at least, the chipset up to 60c.

looks good.
