If you don't plan to overclock anymore, then those temps are resonable. However, if you do plan to overclock more, those temperature would be already too high.
Doors did bring up a good point. Lap it very good, then use ASII, then you notice a some what 6 degree difference. Probably 3-4 from lapping and 2 degrees from AS3.

Lapping is just a fancy name for sanding and polishing the bottom of the heatsink. You start off with fine sandpaper and go to 2000-3000 grit and then polish. You can get a mirror finish with some work.

I have not had temps registering under 50c since I switched from intel to amd. My 1.2 gig ran consistantly in the high 50's. My 1gig I got after the 1.2 gig died is consistantly around high 50's to low 60's. But it cooked along without a glitch though. And this is with an SK6 w\ ASII. On an Asus A7A 266 though. So I don't believe my temps were ever accurate. I'll find out when my Shuttle comes. See how much of a difference in temps there is.
