My system is 100% water cooled with precision temp sensors scattered about, so I can see exactly what's going on all the time. Flight Simulator X, running twin monitors and all the graphics options dialed up, actually seems to be more of a pain for the CPU than the video card. Far Cry 2, Bioshock and numerous others put some heat on that VC, driving the video's copper water jacket temp to 38C. But SH4 and 5 have that beat, consistently pushing it up to 41C.
I'd say you need a fan.
