What's up with my CPU temps ?

I have an Antec P160 case. My Cpu temps have never gone below let's say 35c deg. This is with two coolers.....Zalman 7000BAlCu at 38deg and the Big Tyhoon at 35deg. I have used Artic Silver, follwed their directions and I still can't get the temps lower. My load temp goes up to 52deg using Prime95.

I have my Air Conditioning on most of the time so my ambient temp can't be over 65 deg Farenheit. My case fans are as follows ....2 120mm Fans - 1 Antec 120mm Case Fan and 1 Antec 120mm Smartfan. I also have a Vantec Cardfan with two 60mm fans on it .

I am running my CPU at 2750 at 1.42V. Is there something I am doing wrong or is it just that the P160 Case wasn't made for OC'ing ?
 
i dunno, those temperatures don't seem that bad considering you're running your CPU almost 800 MHz over spec on just air cooling.
