Is this E6300 o/ced temp kinda high?

I have a Gigabyte DS3 F10 and e6300 o/ced to 2.8GHz w/ an Artic Cooler Freezer Pro. Intel TAT says both temp idles around 46C and when I run Orthos, it gets up to 59C. Cpu-Z says Voltage is at 1.280V and I'm seeing that some people are idling in the 30's. Do you guys think my temps are fine?

Hm, mine runs at half-load (one DC project going) at 40C with a Big Typhoon. What's the temp in your room? It's like 60F here.

No doubt, the single most important thing to consider when talking about cpu temps is the ambient temp. I.E., a stock Intel heatsink will run much cooler under load @ 3.2 Ghz with a 5C ambient than that same C2D will run at the same speed with a 30C ambient, and a Tuniq Tower.
