Hello all, I am new here to the boards. I recently acquired an Antec Aria case, and am running an ASUS A7V400 mobo w/ an AMD 2500. At regular speed, with no other cards (onboard video and audio being used), only one CD drive and one hard drive, with the PCI slot cyclone fan that comes with the case, my CPU runs between 60-62 degrees c. Anyone know if this is common? All of the reviews from Newegg had people using similar or same equipment, but their CPU was running around 40's to low 50's. Anyone know how I can remedy this without a lot of modification to the case? Any help is appreciated, thanks.
Antec Aria cooling

CPU temp is directly determined by the CPU cooler (and the CPU
); the AthlonXP is not known as a cool processor and while 60C is a bit high,1. Its understandable if you're using stock CPU fan
2. Lack of real circulation will do that for ya
3. Is 60C the idle temp or the stress temp? If its the idle temp then you might consider improving the cooling/circulation
4. Quickest way is to get a better CPU cooler
