These are the temperatures of my PC components. Plz tell me if the temperatures are fine or not.

GPU (XFX 6600GT 256 MB)- 60 C on average
HDD (Samsung 80GB)- 50 C
Proccy (AMD 64 Athlon 1.81 Ghz)- average 45 C
mobo core (ASUS A8NE)- average 45 C

When I game, the temperatures rise by about 5 C. The GPU temp rises by about 10 C.

Mobo is ok.
CPU is ok.
HDD is near to ok.
GPU is slightly higher.
For Intel core temp & case temp info read my post here - post #2 .
It also gives an idea about cpu temps in general - may be useful for u.

GFX is "the" XFX 8600GT :D Hence the temp is ok.

^^Mine is not the 8600 GT, it's the 6600GT :-D
@power user- Your post was not helpful. Mine is an AMD 64 proccy.

Lol.. Misread it! 6600GT idles around 55C if I remember rite. So not much to worry about I guess!

Even proc.. both the proc and gfx card a just a bit on the higher side. You may wanna clean the cabinet and the fans.

All of the temps are fine, except for the HDD. A front intake fan and a lil bit of cleaning should help it.
I had the exact same config a couple of years back and temps seem fine.
Just look out that the proccy doesn't cross 60c at any given circumstances.
6600gt has a threshold of 130c so........ on average 60c is normal. If you can, then clean the heatsink and apply a fresh layer of AS5/MX2 thermal paste. Both for the gpu n cpu.
