I just got done watching replays on Starcraft 2 (running on ultra) for about 30-45 mins and I got some temps. I built my own computer in November and I'm by no means a hardware person as far as recommended temps for things.

The CPU temp was around 54 degrees Celsius for a AMD Phenom X4 9950 2.66 Ghz quad core

The GPU temp (not really worried) was also 54 degrees Celsius for a 1 GB Radeon 4850 card....

I'm more worried abut the CPU temps.....when is the threshold where I should start getting worried about the temps especially for CPU?

Double post?

Don't worry, 55c is perfectly fine, myQ6600 runs fine at 60c idle, and can get to 75c on a hot day, people worry about >70c when under load but its their own opinion.
