Are these safe temperatures.

I just installed 2 intake fans on the top and side of my Antec one gaming case. I hooked the 2 x 120mm to a molex to 12v 3 x 3-pin connectors. I heard that you should never keep a PC under room temperature, because it could cause moisture in the case. So would this be a safe standby temperature. Thanks :)

You can't cool your computer lower than room temp with fans. You'd need LN2 or something below room temp. :)

Ok first.. Is your avatar the album art for gorillaz plastic beach? thats what it looks like haha I dont know anyone who has listened to that or even really knows what it is lol

Anyway more on topic,wtf is listed for -70c!! thats insane whatever it is. as for the rest of the temps, what is your ambient? i keep my room at around 18c year round and my idle temps are usually about 20-23c even on watercooling so unless your doing some phase change cooling your not going to manage to get your system idle or load temps below that of your ambient temp, Its going to reach a certain tempurature delta and beyond that point it will not drop unless you switch to ln2 cooling at which point your hardware wont last long anyway :P

it is impossible to get below ambient temperature unless you are using thermoelectric cooling or phase change, so your are fine
