I have it OC to 3.5 and my mem is doing 1333. It's idling 45c and when I ran Prime95 on the hight temp, hight voltage, etc...
it never went over 70c. ( 20 min. run)

I see reviews where people get there cpu in the 20's, but this setup has always ran around these temps. I even traded out the case fans for good ones.
 
Idle temps in the low20's can only be had in quite low ambient temps. With my ambient temps in the 60~65f range (which is fairly cool) my idle temps are in the low 30s and max load in the 60s with HT off. Temps are close to 10c higher at load with HT on (since I run no programs that are threaded I have no reason to enable HT). If you have HT enabled I would say your temps look quite good and about average if you have it disabled.

Here is a shot of a prime95 run I made a few hours ago.
