Got my self a zalman cpu cooler CNPS9500 plus a 120mm case fan on the back
of the pc case and my hard drive is in a hard drive cooler which is in a
drive bay under my dvd-rom. so you could say i have good air flow.

below are my system read outs
Core0 Temp:
+27°C
Core1 Temp:
+17°C

The average room temperature is not cool enough for those
temps to be possible, so either they are wrong or the room
temp is probably lower than yours.

Having a bit lower idle temp in an ACPI capable OS is
achieved by using cool-n-quiet and/or other mainboard bios
able to put the processor into lower power state. That is
not likely to be happening with only 5C spread between idle
and full load. Research your specific board, bios, windows
settings for that.

On the other hand, beyond saving some money on the power
bill, there's no stability (nor longevity if system is set
up properly to move sufficient air through it) issue by just
having 46C temp - that is not a problem.
