    temps seen fine.. I don't really have a standard to compare it to so I'll just post up after a full CPU load and GPU usage from Dragon Age Origins.. but this is also w/ a Zalman NC2000.

    60C/59C CPU
    71C GPU
    HDD 41C

    sorry if that's not much help.

    with non zalman cooler, using a generic cooler I got

    63C/63C CPU
    75C GPU

    both max temps from playing Dragon Age origins.. Ifeel this is a fine benchmark since the game puts my CPU usage at 100%.. and definitely stresses the GPU some.
