I just installed a p4 2.66Ghz (not overclocked, yet...) processor and a 7900GT GPU on a Albatron 915 board. The case itself has a fan and im using the stock fan/coil that came with the cpu. My graphics card software is telling me that my idle temps are around 46 degrees.

Its a little warm outside (98 degress with 50% humidity), but is that enough to affect my computer temps ? If its just my computer running hot, whats the best cooling solution you can think of ?

P.S. I want to OC the cpu in the future, so these temps are making me feel a little uneasy.
 
thats not high of an idle temperature for the gpu

Also the outside weather effects your idle and load dramatically,if you don't have AC
It could bring up your idle 1-10C if it's that hot in your home, or bring it down that much.
 
Thats actually very good idle temp for a gfx card. My 7600GT on stock clock speed runs at 51C

LN2 :D
Yeah as aforementioned your temps if anything seem to be below average. If you do OC it later on mind you overall case cooling
