Although I can't comment much on P4 temps due to lack of experience, I can tell you that 38c is a pretty high system temp. What kind of case cooling do you have?

EDIT: Also, what is your voltage at?

I agree, 38C is pretty high for your case. That's about 100F. Seems strange if you have 5 case fans already. Is the ambiant room temp high?

That is a bit high.
How warm is your room?

To compare I have a P4 2.0a @ 3.04

room temp: 24c
system temp: 25c
idle cpu: 35c, 100% cpu load: 50c

EDIT: BTW, I use silentTek (came with my motherboard) and MBM 5 for the reading.
