Is this normal ?

58 sounds very high. Are you able to check the temps in the bios when you first start the pc. I have found that some temperature reporting programs give higher temps than the bios. Also some try to give the core temp of the chip by getting the outside and adding so many degrees. I would say the the chip surface is probably about 45 and the program is saying the core is 58. What prog are you using for the temps?

I am checking From bios.
Nothing is actually wrong with the computer though..except I am little worried thats all..play games perfectly..
Should I just change the cpu fan or get a new case so I could add a case fan?
Which would help?Change the whole case all together or just get a new cpu fan.Isnt the AMD brand fans supposed to be good enough? :(
Anyone got any link to some *COOL* fan that will cool everything down a little..?

AMD cpu's are known to run quite hot, if you aren't overclocking, a stock fan should be ok, but if you want a little extra, check the site above.
Also, are you using any thermal grease between the CPU and the fan, that will help quite a bit as well.

I always knew that thermal grease doesnt help much..I will probley just order a good fan or something..VERY good one..thanks for the link..checking out now. 8)

That's pretty high, but not too bad. IIRC AMD cpus are rated up to 80 degress C, and you're well under that. As long as you aren't having any stability issues don't worry about it. Those on-board temp sensors are notoriously inaccurate.
