Hello friends i am nitin
i have recently purchased a system as follows
1- amd phenom x2 550
2-asus m4a78-em/1394 motherboard
3-powercolor hd 4870 1 gb gddr5 gpu
4-kingston 2 gb ddr2 ram
5-tagan u37 600watt psu
6-seagate 80gb ide harddrive
my room temperature is 31 to 34 degrees
i am using my old cabinet which has a good height but no fan and no ventilation in panels.

From the day i had assembled and operated the system i had noticed on the bios that within 15 minutes temperature of
cpu at 48 degrees and motherboard at 52 degrees under idle state .
When i start playing games after fifty minutes the bios shows cpu at 59 degrees and motherboard at 63 degrees.
[no cpu or gpu overclock infact on auto mode]
i had called amd india they told me that the phenom x2 550 can reach upto 80-90 degrees normally without burning and so 60 degrees is normal for such cpu.
And asus india told me that this motherboard can reach upto 75 degrees normally they suggested me to put a chassis fan on my cabinet for cooling will it work ?

Now please tell me is it normal temperatures of cpu 60 degrees and mobo 65 degrees for such system configuration? Should i apply thermal compound how and which?

What should i do now i am hopeful and eagerly awaiting genuine help please help.
 
I guess you should be able to install fan in the rear panel for taking out hot air.

You can go with thermal pastes like OCZ Freeze, Coolermaster ThermalFusion 400 etc.

Before using thermal paste, clear the surface of cooler. If you can do then install some after-market heatsink for good
