new PC performance questions.

2 quick queries:

Just completed my first build and I seem to be doing pretty well. I just had 2 quick questions for anyone who may know. Bear with me; I'm fairly new at this...

1: what is a decent temp for a comp to idle at? I tend to sit at around 21C during minor comp activity (like now) and hover around 31C during Call of Duty 2 (my most graphicly demanding game) Is that decent or should I replace the stock heatsink that came with my processor?

2: I just ran 3Dmark06 and scored a 3600. unfortunatly, I cant find any chart to reference that score to. What is considered good, poor, mediocre? i don't want to OC too much but would like to get good performance.

here are my specs:
amd64 4000
geforce 7800 gt (just one for now)
2 gigs ram

let me know if you need more info.

 

Your Temp numbers are fine, and are lower than most peoples!

 

Hi jcharp
Why not post your 3Dmark06 score in the benchmarking forum. They'll tell you how you're doing in there.
