What type of temperatures are y'all getting with your AMD64 3500+ processors?

I'm using a stock heatsink/fan and am wondering what a "normal" temperature would be. I've read about normal temps with other (slower) AMD64 processors, but I'm looking for 3500+ specifics.

Thanks!

I am using a 3500+ though not with stock HSF.

I have a Zalman 7000B-Alcu and Artic Silver V

Room temp is around 20C, Case is Lian-Li V1100

Mobo temp is around 33C
Leaving the PC running for about 30mins+ in the BIOS screen (so I guess these are idle temps) i get:

with Fan at Max speed ~53-55 C
with Fan at Min speed (quiet mode) ~60-61 C

Currently I leave it at Max speed because I can't here it over the very noisey 6800Ultra fan.

Not too worried abut these temps but did expect them to be less. Should I expect better temps or are these normal for this kind of setup?
Currently thinking of getting into watercooling in order to shut up GPU.
