Those temps arn't THAT high at all. Before I melted my temp sensor (different reason... trust me) I was reading 45 idle 52 load on a dual 80mm rads (4 5v fans).
Before that It was closer to 55 idle 68 load on air.
Most of this discrepancy I recon was due to the fact my mobo is an ABIT model whihc is known to read temps 15*C or so higher than what they actually are (please no one give me the crap about "real temps" if you are comparing temps for systems as a whole then you are reading 15* higher than the norm.)
Just don't worry about it... I did at first, I set alarms and shut down temps and all that caper but when I bust my sensor... hey life goes on. I don't NEED to know what my system temp is I recon its hitting 50* MAX and as long as my waterblock doesn't come loose that is a high as things are going to get
