The climate control kind of sucks where I'm living. In the fall, my video card idled at 39 degrees and went up to 67 degrees at full load. Now, in the winter, it idles at 36/37 degrees and stabilizes at 61 degrees under load. Mwahahahahaha!

Anyone else seen noticeable temperature changes when the season changes or during particularly hot/cool days? I know that some people keep their case open or even have their computer outside to take advantage of cooler temperatures. You know who you are...
 
That's absolutely normal, you shouldn't be concerned. Your load temp differences are only 6 degrees between winter and fall / summer - you should be happy, other get even 10+ differences.
 
In winter i keep my room at around 20C. In the summer when it gets hot and humid outside my room temp can reach 32-35C... so yeah, under load my temps in winter and summer vary alot, as much as 20 degrees.
 
What kind of core temperatures are you experiencing when the room is at 32+ degrees? My computer room can tend to get fairly hot, particularly in the winter since it is very close to the furnace room. The ventilation is also poor, since there are no windows in the room. If I were to hazard a guess I'd say the computer room is probably around 26-30.

I'm reading these boards and seeing people posting e6600 idle temps of 35C and load temps ofr 45C. What I'm seeing are idle temps of 50C and load temps of 60C on stock cooling with no overclock. Note these are all measured through TAT. Just curious if there might be something wrong?
 
40 C full load 24/7 on my athlon 3500+, since i leave my window open when it's 6 C.

might be time to OC some more
