E6600 Temp question?

Ok, so i've got everything up and running, stock speed. Idle CPU was at 39C, is that pretty decent or bad for a core 2 duo? Stock heatsink btw.

Pretty good for the stock heatsink.

We should have a C2D stock HSF sticky.

Yeah, whats bizarre is the m/b temp is ~43c which i suspect is due to the 8800gts sitting about an inch below the chipset heatsink.

Oh well, what can ya do ;-).

Now for some OC'ing.
