What is the ideal operating temp for a Duron?

I just built my first system with an Abit KT7A mobo and a Duron 1 Ghz, with a Cooler Master EP5-6i11 HSF. The hardware management program for the mobo shows the idle temp around 37-38 degrees Celsius, and when I actually put a load on it, around 41 degrees C. Is this where it should be, or should I be looking at adding some extra (or better) cooling? BTW, I am not overclocking at all, just running it at its base specs.
 
Yeah, those temps are fairly average from a KT7A and Duron at that speed. The coolermaster heatsink/fan units aren't the greatest things ever made, but you can get a little overclocking out of them (e.g. I got 1118 MHz out of a 900MHz Duron using a coolermaster 6H51 (I think) cooler running on an Abit KT7A board).
