I'm OCing my i7 to 3.15Ghz now with 1.13v, cooler is Mugen 2 with 2 Gentletyphoon(1650rpm) pushing from front and top.

At room temp of about 25c, it's about 43c idle. Is this temp good for my setup?

(I put a 4870x2 in my computer, and it diffidently increase the CPU temp by about 3-4c )

Also, any suggestion on improving my current setup?

you are safe up to around around 85c while running linx and using realtemp to monitor.

Yes, I7 tempted to run hot even on idle. as long as you are below 100C on load you are safe, but i try to keep it around 85ish to be safe.

Those temps are totally fine, i7's run extremely hot.

If you want your temps to go down a bit, setup your fans in a push/pull instead of a push side/push top. All that is doing is creating turbulence, you want a nice even flow across your whole system.
