42C for cpu with nothing running
48C for video car with nothing running

while playing games like carbon

48C for cpu
52C for VC

I recently just installed 2 fans for this comp hopping to lower my temperature.
 
The cpu temps there are well within normal for stock cooling. If you want to see those drop even further get a Zalman CNSP9500 shown at http://reviews.pimprig.com/cooling/zalman_cnps9500_led_cpu_cooler.php?page=2 or some other large cpu cooler like the ThermalTake Typhoon seen at http://www.coolerguys.com/840556018926.html

The video card is seeing low temps compared to others who 80C and above while gaming. Of course they are also ocing the...... out of everything just to see who gets the faster fps. :rolleyes: Swapping out small fans for larger fans and some would draw the cooler air inside the case there. But other then that you don't too much to worry about there.
 
One good freeware for looking at cpu and board temps alike is SpeedFan. You can download the latest version directly from http://www.almico.com/sfdownload.php The #1 temp seen on the first tab is for the cpu with the #2 temp just below being for the board. It's a good one to have onhand if you don't have one provided by MSI there.
 
and i thought mine where alittle high

Manage to get a screen shot as soon as the system reach the desktop? Those are quite a bit tool low even with a water cooled setup.
 
Well the only real time you need to see temps that is you plan on keeping things at oc levels at all times. Otherwise idle normal operating temps are above if not equal to a system with a good load on it.
