Need help: Temp too much!

[blazingrocket]

My cpu reading via asus probe is 48-50 celsius and the mother board is 26-27 celsius.
My system config is as follows:
amd xp 1600
IBM Deskstar 7200
asus A7v266 motherboard
cak38 global win fan(6950rpm) astride a massive copper heatsink
Enermax 350 w P.S. with 2 fans(1 above the cpu) running at 3000rpm
1 80mm case fan at 3000 rpm behind the cpu pulling air out.
1 80mm case fan at 3000 rpm in the bottom front of the case pulling air in.
1 80mm case fan at 3000 rpm at the top of the case pulling air out of the case...I cut this myself.
I was expecting cpu temps to be lower, maybe low 40's and motherboard temps to be about 22-23.
Were my expectations unrealistic or what? Should i be getting a lower temp. How could a lower temp be achieved with fan cooling?

Every motherboard reads temps differently, dna with your motherboard, your current temps are inline with "normal" from that board.

buy an external probe for more accurate results.. Also if you think that is really high for some reason make sure your heatsink is mounted right.
