46C, measured how?

Remember that no two boards report anyting remotely alike, even the same model board from the same manufacturer, and believe me, I've been through three Abit NF7-S boards and they each reported differently. Even various BIOS updates will alter the reported temperatures.

Heck, on my latest test setup I see ~51C load temperatures on my AthlonXP CPU. Mind you, that's running BurnK7 at 2850MHz/2.15v Vcore, so the heat load there is somewhat higher than "average".

Temperature comparisons are meaningless between different systems, and depending on various circumstances, even meaningless between air/water setups on the same system. May as well try to pick what the weather will be on a particular day next month by looking inside your toilet bowl.
