Default Athlon 64 3500+ Question

Recently bought a new asus mobo and the 3500 chip and I really like the way it works. Questions being, what should the normall operating temp be for this CPU? I have a fairly large case with LOTS of cooling: 2x120mm fans 1 front 1 side, 2x80mm rear, 1x80mm left side and 1x80mm top. All I have seen for max temps are 34 degrees C at full load. Stock amd cooler without the usual AS5 thermal compound. The CPU is on the san diego core and is the lower voltage variety. Could somebody please let me know if this is right? I was used to my old barton core 3200+ running a whole lot warmer than this maybe that is why I find it so suprising. These temps come from the bios as well as the asus PC Probe utility. Thanks for shedding some light on this for me.
