42C is pretty good. Better airflow and lowering the ambient temp will help lower it some more.

There's a different sensor in the Conroe processors...
As long as your load temp isn't too much over 63 (I'd say 65 as a low end maximum) you should be fine.
Upload case pictures, and I'd be happy to help you increase/optimize your airflow. I enjoy doing this

Have you tried remounting the HSF with some good AS5 thermal paste?
Offer is extended if you upload case pics, I will help you.

I tried remounting the HSF, it's now at ~44-45C, is that normal enough? or should I aim lower? With normal temperatures, I'll try to overclock it a bit... but i'll have to learn how first
.I didn't apply any thermal paste, it's the first system I built, didn't know that there were "grades" of paste.
I'll take some pictures later tonight or tomorrow.
Thanks for the help guys

If 45 is your Idle temp, it's still a little bit high...
Yeah, Get some Arctic Silver 5 paste, that's a good 5'c drop when installed correctly.
If you're uploading pics, I'd do it in a different thread. Just put my name in the topic or PM me with the thread link.

not really, depends on the stock pad to be honest, and AFAIK intel doesn't use pads any more, only reason pads were bad because they had to hit a high temp to actually melt and actually be effective.

That's true, but going from the stock intel stuff, to as5 netted me 3'c (and it hadn't cured yet) while I was waiting for the new 775 top to my TDX.

This is 100% fine. There is a lot of confusion over the max ""Core temp"" with many people thinking it is 61.4C, but the core temp max is actually 85C! when you "start" doing damage.
The Thermal Specification is 61.4C (which I believe most motherboard software shows)
The Core Temp Max is 85C which is what "Core Temp Beta" show, this temp is measured by "Intel Thermal Monitor 2" The software even states 85C
Proof
http://processorfinder.intel.com/details.aspx?sSpec=SL9S9
Click on "Thermal Specification" and read carefully.
"the thermal specification shown is the maximum case temperature at the maximum Thermal Design Power (TDP) value for that processor. It is measured at the geometric center on the topside of the processor integrated heat spreader." ----- This is NOT core.
There are a lot of people spending money on after market cooling for even mild overclocks when they don't need to.
I am going to shock a few people and say if your "core temp" is below 75C, you don't need to bat an eyelid.
