Is this temp normal?

I have a pentium D805@2.66 stock and it is cooled by Zalman Fatal1ty FS-C77. Room temp is around 30-32C and D805 goes up to 38-42C at idle and 53-57C at full load. Any comments?

If I were using the stock cooler, I would be happy with these temps but since I am using a zalman cooler, I expected to see lower temps.

Don't forget, you have an ambient temp of 30-32C...which is high. So, you're only idling at 10C over room temp, and peaking at ~25C over ambient.
