Safe CECHA repasted temps?

Repasted my CECH-A model with Arctic MX-2, and from the threads I've searched, I still seem to be higher than most in regards to temperature. Looking for some others, specifically with the same model and their experiences after repasting that can share so I can compare.

My CPU, with fan at 30% manual, hovers around 67C, and the RSX is around 58C. I have PS2 set to 32% manual fan but obviously can't determine those temps. Any higher and the thing sounds like a jet. Setting these with WebMan.

I also replaced that lousy ZSSR5391A PSU with an APS-226 to reduce overall heat in the system.

As these models are notoriously short-lived, I'm hoping these types of temps will give it a long life ahead. I'm used to PC temps so I'm not sure how the PS3 compares.

Thanks for any input.
 
Reading more in these forums, it seems like I will be fine with those temps, but if fan speed starts to get out of control to maintain reasonable Cell temps, then delidding would be required to replace that paste?

Is there an app or method to log temps during PS2 mode, so I can see exactly how those are? PS3 can use ST/SEL but i haven't found any combo listed to do this in PS2 mode, so even logging to a txt file would be helpful.
