Normal Idle temps on stock HSF for Q6600?

Core temps read 48-46 across all cores at idle in ambient of 25 degrees (stock CPU speeds). Case is fairly well ventilated (P182 with all cables tucked away nicely)

Is this normal or have i possibly made a mistake with mounting the fan?

I am going to replace my fan with a TRUE and i hope to OC to at least 3.4-3.6 :S
 
When I got my Q6600 my idle temps were between 39-42c at ambient of 24c. Load went as far as 72c! So your idle temps look a bit high to me but I cleaned up the thermal pad type material from the stock cooler and used Arctic Ceramique instead.
