Is using SmartFan a good choise

[gkg101]

Per the non-overclocked system in signature: I enabled Smart Fan in BIOS and set it to auto. Now system is is very quiet. I did expect higher temps which went from 22c idle to about 38c, and with games, as high as 53c. Is this still good for the long term? Just curious - do people who overclock use Smart Fan?

Should be fine.

I generally disable smart fan if I'm overclocking.
