You should be running low to mid 30's idle, low to mid 40's under load, unless overclocking. You'd know that if you had looked at the other recent posts on this subject. You most definitely need thermal paste on your cpu to allow good transfer to teh heatsink, unless you ahve a stock intel cooler, which has a thermal pad instead (which isn't very good). I'd recommend more fans and a better heatsink if possible.
