40-43 degrees celsius for cpu, this good?

Title says it all, my cpu runs at 40-43*C, i was wondering if this was good. Its weird because my case runs at about 25-28*C, and not a thing is oc'ed.

Depending on your HSF this seems rather decent. A better all copper heatsink with a highspeed fan would drop that temp of course but you're not terribly bad at all.
Which HSF do you currently have?

BTW there is a cooling forum where I'm moving this too.
