your CPU is way high.

Is that with your CPU under full load? If it is, thats about normal, if thats idle, it's way too high.

well, my FX-55 was 66C at load with everything stock from Monarch. Pentiums are supposed to be hotter than Athlons, but even for an FX that was kind of high. I have it running at 55C load now with cooler ambients and an XP 120.

If those are idle (and with mobo at 31 they must be) then you don't have your cpu heatsink mounted properly.

how do i check the cpu temperature of mine? Is it a program, or is it a physical thing you put on your case?

these temperatures when the machine is idle...
thanks all for the help... well, the next question is how cold i solve the issue?
what kind of cooling fan i should get...i guess it's not just any kind, right?

Make sure your HSF is properly seated and that you have a good amount of thermal paste one (not too little, not too much). P4's are hot, but not that hot. You should be idling somewhere around 40C. My overclocked Athlon 64 maxes out at 37C load with 1.425vcore.
