1 80 MM LED fan in back (Exhausting)

How R these temps?

cpu is a little high. I would check your thermal material and consider a replacement when you get the chance, you might have too much thermal material between the HSF and processor.

i would say the look pretty good, although the last p4 i built, which was a 3.0, ran at 100F max. and like 80F idle. But the temps are you are getting are still safe.

That looks pretty good... i have a similar setup.

Although my cpu temp is a little lower... around 37c

Before I got the Aeroflow my temps was 48C Idle.

Have you checked for an update for your BIOS from MSI? They have been and still are known for producing "HIGHER" than normal temp. readings on there boards. Alot of them can be fixed with BIOS updates. I have an MSI 845PE-MAX (THAT I AM TRYING TO SELL) that use to read higher than expected until I checked for a BIOS update and it corrected the issue. On the same note I have an MSI 865PE-Neo2 w/ P4 2.53GHz & Vantec Aeroflow and at idle I am at 30c CPU.

I have the latest Bios Update. How much do you want for your 845PE?
