I want just wondering if my cpu's temperature is high? I am just running at stock speed. I use coretemp and it said 49c - 53c at about 0% - 10% load.

As I understand it coretemp fails to read 45nm temps properly (not to mention the sensors in 45nm's are unreliable anyway). Essentially Coretemp appears to report 10 degreees (Celcius) higher due to a screw up with the Tjunction set point (i.e. max temp).

Try realtemp, and have a quick read here if you're interested in some of the issues behind the different readings.
