Running at 32C cpu fan at 1080rpm.
Copper heatsinks are an excellent way of drawing heat from cpu but not so great at disapating. Manufacturers have learned that by mixing copper with alluminium they can get the best of both worlds. Copper heatsinks tend to be very overweight and more expensive.
With todays higher powered mo-bos and graphics it is not unusual for cpu temps to reach into the 50`s.It may be fair to say that if your temperatures stay in the low 30`s under programme load, then your system is is basically stock and not being put under any pressure.
Todays modern cpu is very unlike its predessors and can withstand temperatures that were unheard of a few years ago. You only have to read the forums to see that some cpu`s are quite happy and stable running at 60deg

Sorry folks.
I had thought that Billy had explained my new position.
I design circuit and tail components in a "sweetie mouse" factory. Our customers are sometimes confused and need advice on whether the tail should be analysed first or should they try to digest the whole product and hope for the best.
cheers
