Your idling temp looks allright. However temperature values under heavy load is more important. So just play some demanding games for a while or run a stress test for at least 10mins and monitor your temperature to make sure your temps are ok.

Your idle temps look good, however the load temps are what you want to look at. Is your CPU overclocked?
Hope this helps!
I'm not overclocked. No plans in going there too, I guess. Not a closed book though, there's always a chance I'll overclock a bit if I really need to in the future. But for now, not really.
I have no plans in going for the water cooling route as well. I usually have my computer turned on for the whole day, mostly for automated decompiling and compiling programs. I usually leave my mod programs to do the work for me automatically if the calculations would take a long time. That's why I am adamant about air cooling, because I won't need to fret over maintenance and having to constantly check if there are leaks whatsoever.
My computer build is concentrated on all-around usage. Part work, part play. Hence I'm worried about the temps. I'm spontaneous, meaning, I'd suddenly decide to play while in the middle of work. But that might lessen, because I got a PS3...
Anyway, I could try Prime95 to stress test my system to get load temps.
