Does this make sense?

Recently fired up my new system (first home build in my sig link). It's a VNF3-250 MOBO, with an Athlon 64 3000+ CPU. The BIOS and Speedfan say low-mid 40's (42-46) for temp (it was 52-54 before I actually used the Thermal paste that came with my Speeze HS/Fan). I haven't overclocked (not sure if I will) and that's just after installing a bunch of programs ranging from Nero to Office XP.

Does that sound right? I had the system on for a couple of hours, and the temp seemed like it actually went down from shortly after the initial boot (temp on boot was 47-48). I did set the BIOS to shut down at 65, just in case things get wacky. This is my first build, after all...

Sounds good, now run somthing like Prime95 to see what your load temps are like.
