That looks like a very low temperature for a Prescott Socket478 processor - I'm not quite sure whether that's really true. My Northwood core with good air circulation gets 41 C Idle and maxes out at 55 C...Prescotts should easily reach 65C. Use the Asus Probe Utility that comes with the Motherboard software package.

Check the temps in the BIOS...they tend to be more accurate than most Windows based utilities.

If your computer isn't locking up or freezing all the time and the performance is solid, then don't worry about the temps.
