Athlon heat question

i purchased yesterday a new pc with the following configuration:Athlon 1333Mhz,384Ram, Geforce2MX and 30gb HD. I faced problem with the cooler of the CPU, probably it had a problem and couldn't work in the speed that it should. I put an extra cooler,much bigger than the normal and the temperature now varies from 44-55 celcius. Do you consider these normal degrees? I searched on the web and the only think I found is that Athlon 1333 can handle up to 92celcius and probably it will be destroyed beyond that point. Do I have to worry that my CPU temperature reaches up to 55 celcius in some situations (games)?
I havent paid any attention on the heating problem of the processors for a long time and i don't know a shit. I see people using some huge cooler systems,larger than my refrigerator.....
