    I've just installed a new ASUS Nvidia EN8400 GS graphics card with Passive cooling.

    The temperature has been steady at 137 degrees F, 58 degrees C.
    The CPU varies from 32 to 36 degrees C.
    The two hard drives are fairly steady at 36 and 38 degrees C, although the second drive
    is currently inacive.

    Are these temps OK?

    The interior of the case is clean and the case and CPU fans have been cleaned, as well as the CPU heat sink,
    as best as possible. The power supply is new, so it's fan is clean.

    Thanks!

    Don't think you need to go that far.

    Are you going to be gaming on the card?

    If you're just watching movies and browsing with it then you will be perfectly ok.

    Have you experienced any BSOD's or lock-ups?

    Thanks for your replies!

    No BSOD's or lockups.
    The fans sound the same as they did before the card install.
    There is an 80mm case fan on the back and the PSU has a large fan on the bottom
    which I think is 120mm. The airflow coming Out from those two is not very warm at all.
    I can feel good air flow going InTo the box from the side vents closest
    to the fans. SpeedFan shows the case fan at about 1378 RPM.
    GPU temp holding fairly steady at 60C with normal internet and text stuff.

    Have not experienced any problems yet.

    Thanks. :cool

    Forgot to mention, I don't do any gaming, at least not yet.
    Just never was very interested in that.

    In that case you are fine, just start to worry if it starts getting in the 90's. :-D
