Temps don't seem right

[SocceRich20]

I know a lot of people must ask questions like this, but I've been messing around with my cooling, and it just doesn't seem right.

Here is my system

X-Superalien Case with 6 turbo blue fans
P4C 2.8 @ 3.2
Zalman CNPS-7000 Cu
Abit IS7
Arctic Silver 3
120GB WD
ATI Radeon 9800 Pro
500w Aspire PSU

Now, I just re-applied my thermal paste again in hopes of lower temps. When in Winamp and browsing the net, temps are around 46-48C. This is also with all the fans at max speed, which is somewhat noisy. I think I should be getting lower temps than this. I have two fans in front intaking, two in back outtaking, one on top outtaking, and one on the side window intaking. The power supply has a stright through fan system, which intakes near the optical drives, unlike most psu's. Does anyone have any ideas on how I could lower my temps to the 30's or so with my current cooling? Do you think I could be putting too little thermal paste on? I put a thin layer that covers the IHS and you can barely read the lettering on the cpu. Thanks a ton in advance.

ABit motherboards tend to read temperatures 8-10 degrees higher than they actually are.....

If you're really concerned, touch the heatsink on your CPU while it's running, if it's cool to moderately warm, you're fine, if it's at all really warm to approaching hot, then you've got some problems....

Try changing your bios. The Abit's tend to report higher than normal temps.

Well, I just changed my back fans to intake and my front to exhaust. temps are at 44C now. I'll see how it holds up.
