There really is no such thing as too cold with air cooling. Now, if you use some extreme cooling such as a Peltier or Prometia, you have to take precautions to prevent condensation of water which can run off....and you know the rest.

Ummmm - unless you are using active cooling (i.e. peltier) or live in the arctic then yes, those temps are too low.

With air, you should never be reading below ambient/room temp.

And 30C CPU temp in an normal 22C room is just plain too low - its not real.
 
i am using a volcano 7+ about 6 50m case fans , and i got a tube from the airconditioner into the case with a 120mm fan.

however my question was, if running at VERY cool temperatures is a bad thing? or is it a good thing?
