Too cool?

My desktop - the only machine I've got with a readily accessible temp sensor - is currently running at 26C Processor, and 21C Mobo. It's overclocked - by a whole 19Mhz - ("wow, really?" I bet you're impressed... hahahahahaha), and no special cooling to speak of - just populated all the blank spaces for fans on the case with fans, and added the 'sucker-upper' fan enclosure which sticks out on top of the processor and extracts air outside.

With people here quoting 50 deg C and so forth, and having heard the Duron works at up to 80C, is there a problem with too low a running temperature for CPU's? I don't think so, but is there such a thing as too cool?

I'd check the temp probe is in the right place / isn't bent / isn't broken. Check this thread on temperature measurement. (interview with arctic silver).
