Hi, I'm running a AMD Phenom II X4 955 BE overclocked to 3.6GHz @ 1.37V. I have a Cooler Master V8 cpu cooler. My temps are usually 32c - 34c idle and under load they are about 44c - 48c. My room temp is about 25c. Are these good temps to be at? I searched some forums and saw people posting lower temps so I'm just wondering if I'm doing anything wrong :(. I'm using the Antec Formula 7 thermal compound if that makes any difference..
 
The temps you posted are excellent! It means you have done things right!

As a general rule, an 8 to 15 degrees C over ambient is considered good. Yours are well within this. And your load temps are excellent! 65 to 70 degrees C under load would be considered fine.
