Are these temps. too low?

[Schmeph]

I just built a new system. Soyo Dragon+ MB, XP1700+ with sk-6 HS and 38 CFM fan, all in an Antec sx-840 case. At idle, my CPU temp is 27-29, Case temp 22. After running prime95 for about an hour my CPU temp is 34 and case temp is 25. Bios, SiSoft Sandra and MBM5 all agree. I see many posts with similar CPU's running high 30's low 40's or higher. Am I getting accurate readings? Is anyone else getting similar results? I know the sk-6 is supposed to be good, but are things out of line here?

Not at all. I get those temps everyday. Right now I am running a 15% load and I have 27/38. I've had it hover around 22/26 for hours.

Thanks sygyzy. I don't want to get too comforatable with these temps. just to find out something was way off.

well, nothing wrong other than socket-thermsitor readings are not accurate by any stretch of imagination.... figure that your actual DIE temps are significantly higher, but your readings are comparable to other Dragon+ users, so your temps are fine.
