now I know that these temps have to be odd. We just finished building my comp, and I'm using stock cooling. Here is what I have
Core2Duo E6300
GeForce 7900GT
Enermax 460W PSU
Corsair 2x 512mb ram
Seagate 250gb HD
Now we just built it today, and I'm on it now and downloaded core temp and currently the readings are staying around 50c for both cores, but with it not even being overclocked or anything, this HAS to be pretty high. when we put the fan in we made sure that it was solid and wouldn't jiggle so that's locked in place, although one thing worries me.....the fan on the CPU seems inconsistent with speed. It looks like it's speeding up/slowing down a bit because everynow and then I can see the fan lines when it's turning really fast, and then it'll dissapear.
We put the Arctic Silver 5 heatpaste on like the guide told us, a straight line with not too much but not too little, although we had trouble getting the points in the holes at first, and it wouldn't lock in so we had to take it off and try again. As I'm typing this both cores are a stable 50c.
here is the case I have:

Tomorrow we are going to get another fan to put in the back of the comp so that should create more airflow, because right now we have the one in the PSU, the one on the CPU, the one built in with the case, and the one on the videocard.
so does anyone know why it's 50c un overclocked? And does anyone know if it's too hot? I set the BIOS to give me a warning if the temp goes over 60c, so I would also like to know at what temp is it dangerous to keep running.
