Psh, that's nothing ;)

<---54C idle

I'm running a 1700+@2.4ghz (1.875V in BIOS, ~1.8V actual) and it runs day in and day out at that temperature. Yeah, it is higher than I'd like, and I should probably check one of these days to make sure the heatsink is seated correctly. (Edit: But I'm a lazy bastard and it IS stable, after all.)

Oh, and I have an SK7, which is kinda like the poor man's SLK-900 :p

I wouldn't worry about 46C, especially if that's a temperature at load.
