currently my 955 BE CPU temps are 39c idle
and 56c load.
using cooler master thermal fusion 400 with hyper212 plus.

are my temps high or normal?
Members please suggest me very good thermal paste that would bring down these CPU temps.

those are normal dude.

my slowwwww 1.8GHz dual core idles at 50c and goes to 75-80c on full load. :p
so stop worrying.

yes. those temps are normal. and it's a f'ing overclocked CPU. you also have a nice aftermarket cooler. if you want to bring the temps down, look for better cabinet and add few fans for cooling.

I have some industrial grade thermal paste that I have used on my laptop, and I see a difference of 10 degree C. Temperature is hovering around 60 now.

Woah...! What is this stuff to create a delta of 10C.
