CPU Fans

40 degrees is actually very cool for that chip. I'm running a decently rated coolermaster (made for 2100+) on a 1800+ chip, and my cpu usually hangs around 48-53 degrees, and that's with a thin and evenly applied layer of arctic silver III.
If you are really concerned, you could try one of the current monster coolers like an alpha or globalwin, but I doubt you'd get much lower than your current temps. There's also peltiers and water cooling, but that's getting rather extreme.

For that chip, your temps are fine IMO.
What kind of case do you have and how many fans are in it? Your mobo temp seems a little warm, so you can probably get the case temps down by adding some more case fans or more powerful ones.
My 2400+ @ 2.31ghz runs around 41'c at full load but this case has phenominal cooling.

40C idle is fine. I'm at ~42C idle, 50C load with an XP1700+ and Thermalright SK-7 + 80mm (<20cfm--quiet and low flow) fan.
Board temp seems a bit high, though. What's your room temp? How many case fans do you have?
(Again, does this topic belong in 3DT&H? I'll admit it's a nice change of pace from all this furious next-gen rumor-mongering and consipiracy talk.

That seems downright low to me. I'm running a XaserIII case with four intake and four exhaust fans along with dual fans in my PS plus my HS/Fan running ~4000RPMs and my video card fan and my ambient temps tend to run 35C idle(twelve for those keeping count ; ) ), although room temp is kept around 75 degrees. My processor is @2.1GHZ which pumps out a bit more heat then yours, but your temps wouldn't have me batting an eye. Your chip is rated for peak operating temp @90 C, and your ambient temp is peaking around 100 degrees farenheit, I wouldn't sweat it.
