Temperature of your airport card

I, two weeks ago i bought an Imac Alu 20' and when i use the widget Istat Pro it gives me a temperature of around 55-60 Cº in my airport card. Is this normal?

Thanks

Imac Alu, Mac OS X (10.5)

Install SMCFanControl: http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/31029
and you can increase the speed of your internal cooling fans.

I have my fans running at:
ODD: 1052
HDD: 1790
CPU: 1730
and it keeps most of my temps about 10-15C cooler. You could experiment to see which fan might help keep the wireless card cooler.

Yea, because Apple just orders a bunch of hard drives from Newegg, not like they have some engineers and staff or like they ever work with the engineering groups from their suppliers.
