I'd say 42 degrees is a little hot. I think I've heard numbers saying that
50 is critical, and at 60, your CPU simply won't work anymore. My own
usually runs at 28 or 29, even though the fan isn't especially good. The
extreme overclockers get it down to -40 or even -50 :-)
As long as it's stable, though, it probably won't harm your CPU, but to be
on the safe side, I would have installed some kind of extra cooling.
