Thanks electro.
It's one I pieced together as my original had broken.
It seems to be OK,after I refreshed the heat sink.
thanks again

Anything under 50°C is OK.

If it used to run cooler before, or is starting to make to much noise, it may be time to do some dusting of the heatsink.

Just checked temp, and running between 38 and 43c is that a bit hot, that is after a few hours though.

30C is a prety cool running temperature for any computer.
Unless it was previously running at a significantly lower temperature (less than about 25C), everything seems to be OK.
In fact, you should expect that the running temperature to be at least 10C, often up to 40C, over the ambient temperature.

I have a free utility - Speccy

It tells me my machine's CPU is running at about 46°C
And the disk at 31°C (OK less than 50°C)

Stay Cool...
