hey i build my computer like 3 years ago, seems to be running fine

last month, i had to get a new grahpic card due a GFX failure.. i also bought a new power supply and thermal paste


from that day to now, i've been checking my cpu temp core 1 idles around 30oc, and core 2 idles around 35oc...today when i turn on the computer both temperature both increased to 48-49oc core 1, and core two is 50oc.
is there something wrong? (latley my pc have been moving while its on, stupid people keeps kicking it)

my spec:
amd athlon 64 x2 4000+
ocz pc2-6000 800mhz 1gb x 2
DW 350gb 7200RPM
Ultra 600w PSU
dvdrw drive LG
(only 1 fan in the front that intake air, should i buy a rear one to exhaust the hot air?)
 
It is possible that your heatsink has come loose (as you have said people have been kicking it) from the processor. Maybe you need to open up the case and just check that nothing is loose and if so reseat the processor with new thermal paste and re-apply the heatsink.
 
What thermal paste did you use?...Maybe you didnt let the paste cure befor you turned on your PC. "(only 1 fan in the front that intake air, should i buy a rear one to exhaust the hot air?)" yes, it would help alot.

I don't see the problem with your temps. They're perfectly normal. In fact, they're better than normal for me.

EDIT: Oh, now I get what you're saying. I would just try reseating your heatsink. That will probably do the trick.
