I Am Running Air Cooling Thoughout My System. My Computer On A Hot Day Of 95F My Computer Runs At 98-102F. I Have 6 Case Fans And A Areo Cooler 7+ CPU Cooler. (Adjustable Speed Settings) My Room Temp On A Adverage Day Is About 80 And My Computer Runs At 90-95F (I Have A Room Fan Running As Well) My Question Is Are My Temps Running Right? Should I Try To Get It Cooler? If So How Would I Do So? I Like To Run Air Because I Just Can't Afford A Water Cooler.
 
im not sure what my idle temps are. these temps are when im on aim/internet or playing a game.
 
Those temps are fine, however, it's hard to know if they are idle or load temps.

To find the idle temp, record the temps when not doing anything that stresses the processor. General websurfing or talking on AIM don't really stress the processor at all. Though, to play it safe, idle temps should be recorded when the computer isn't doing anything at all (ie, just sitting at the desktop).

To find the load temp, you should take the temps when doing something extremely stressful to the processor, like playing a 3D game, or running Prime95's torture test (google it for more information).

The bottom line is though, those temps sound very good, and as long as you are under, say, 55 degrees C (131 F) or so under full load, then temps are fine. If they are much over 60 degrees C (140 degrees F) with full load, you might consider doing something to improve your cooling.
 
Your temps are fine. In fact, I'd say they're borderline great if you're talking about the XP 2100 in your profile. You're running what, at most ten degrees above ambient? Fifteen? Not bad at all, and certainly not something to be worried about.
 
Yes, you have excellent airflow there. Your temps are very good under load.
 
today after my lan im going to check the idle temps (will let my computer set for an hour or two) and while in the lan i will check the temps. i will post them later on today.
