Idle Temps on i7-930 OC

[mkchampion14]

I have a Hyper 212+ cooler.
I've been looking around forums and people are getting around 30-35 idle temperatures on their overclocked i7-930...
Mine is overclocked to 3.5GHz and undervolted (speedstep off) and I get ~40C idle. Is this a problem? I've heard people say "ambient temperature" too, mines is around 75F, and 104F max idle temp (it's usually 38C, <100F) seems kinda high.
Load temps seem fine btw, maxes out at 62C Prime95 as reported by RealTemp.
Any help on this weird phenomenon?

Because you're OCed, you'll immediately see an increase in idle/load temps. It's simply because the CPU is running faster, and with more voltage going through it.

These temps seem good for i7-9xx which is well known for generating a lot of heat.
