those are my specs as stated by speccy. Can someone please tell me that these temperatures are normal?
 
There all three high for idle. Have you cleaned the dust out lately? If you have a OEM/case it could contribute to it. Most OEM cases air flow suck.
 
give it a thorough clean out as stated above, especially the cpu fan, and if you dont already have one it would be worth a few pounds to install a case fan.
 
ya those are certainly above average...a proper cleaning is in order.

Just curious too... what is your ambient temperature... i.e., are you in South Florida or Northern Ontario lol
 
Hey thanks guys you are right I haven't cleaned it in about a year or more I think. Never thought it would make such a huge difference ? :O
And errm I am sorry I am a total amateur at all this computer stuff but what's a OEM case? i have a metallic type cpu casing :s


@ gizzmo333 I am from pakistan lol but it's pretty chilly here these days..

OEM means original equipment manufacturer, so basically if its a dell/hp etc its OEM but if you built it yourself then its not. Cleaning it our can cause a great difference, especially if you find that your heatsink is clogged up with dust and grime. Also you might want to check that there's nothing stopping or restricting the fans in your system.

One final note, be careful opening your case if its OEM, many company's will void your warranty (if its still in date), if the case has been open by someone without a companys permission
