35 Celsius is damn good, and that's all you need to know.

Mine too. Mine is at 45 Celsius and I consider that really good compared to my last one CPU fan (60 celsius usually).

yeah, I ran into a good buy on a Thermaltake heatsink, and an even better one on a Thermaltake 480 watt psu, with 2 fans and front bay fan control for $20! I found a discruntled customer at Comp USA and was so pissed he just said, here, you take the damn thing of my hands! I about exploded in my pants!

Anything running in the 50s is about as warm as it should ever get -- otherwise, you will soon smell smoke. I have my warnings set at 60 C (I overclock) and I have cooked one processor with a cheap fan.

Depends on if you are running and Intel or AMD chip.... Which are you running?
AMD's are ussually good till about 70 celcius.. (thats pretty warm though) Intel's - if you are using the stock heat sink and fan you should be under 55.. I have yet to see one go more then 60..

Im using an AMD, now that I have returned the Tornado bullshit, for some reason I am experiancing some pretty high temps when overclocked now, about 45 or so. Ill have to keep an eye on this for a little while.
