51 C is a little high, but I discovered when I built with the e6600 that the bios was reading the temperature inaccurately. Apparently the cpu reports 3 temperature readings; 1 for each core plus 1 that's permenantly 85 degrees....just indicating the shutdown temp! My motherboard was averaging the three. Install Windows and download CoreTemp; it'll tell you the temperature for each core.
