    Never really going to get a straight answer on a 'normal' temperature of a CPU or PC as they are all different, from your rooms ambient temp to the way you have build your pc and the parts used ( Case/HSF etc ) but you will have a best working average temp window, which as the FX53s have a max temp of between 63/70c ( with an ambient temp of 40/42c ) so long as your not hitting over the 60c mark your well within that window... I have a personal target temp to try and get a PC to and this is at 100% CPU time or Full Load at a temp of no more than 55c.

    things to take note of that can affect temps....

    • Room temperature
    • Airflow around outside of case ( is it stuck in a corner or in a PC desk )
    • Airflow inside the PC, do you have optimum airflow as in fan/s pulling cool air in the front and out the top back, are your cables all tidy as to not restrict airflow, which can cause dead zones of warm air.

    I concur with Halo your temps seem fine for a system under load but if you could give room temp it will make it more relevant, eg. if it middle of winter and 5C you may be concerned when summer comes at 30C as system temp will be correlatted to this.
