I looked into the BIOS of my other system with different m/b and (better) heatsink and I get the same readings (~42). I use OCZ paste on both systems and followed their application instructions for the Athlon 64. Both heatsinks are just warm to the touch. I also see on the net that there are tons of people with similar "problems" so I am closing this file as "normal". Case closed (no pun intended).
