What is a average temp for a intel quad 2 core 2,33GHZ with a 120mm fan?
 
More than likely low 40's, of course this depends on the room temp and a couple other things but high 30's low 40's, possible high 40's.
 
idle temps arent half as important as peak temps... do some stress testing with orthos and if the temp goes over 60 after 5 mintues them it's running to hot.

if you aren't overclocking u can also undervolt the cpu
 
On a hot day where ambient temps are 30C, your CPU should run about 15 - 20C hotter than ambient. At load it will be in the Mid 40's to mid 50's Idle should be upper 30's. My 65nm 2.4ghz runs a little hotter than the 45nm 2.3ghz on stock speeds. But my original CPU cooler on stock speeds sucked terribly. I got a coolermaster V8 on it now and run in the 40's on a hot day at a 3.0ghz OC. The stock 2.4ghz runs hotter on the standard cooler than my OC'd 3.0ghz with the V8.

So on the q6600 @3.0ghz on a 32C ambient temp, my Idle temps are about 40C. So I run about 8C hotter at idle and about 20C maxed out (with prime95) - this would be with stock voltages.

At idle it is about +-38 with the temp around 35C in the shade and +-50C at load.
 
If you are talking about the Intel E6550, mine (with stock cooling) runs at between 30-35 degrees idle and goes up to about 60-65 under load, even when overclocked to 3.2 GHZ the temps never went over 70. I have noticed two things that after time cause my idle temps to rise, very dirty heat sink and heat sink paste getting old this only ever made about a 2-3 degree difference though so nothing spectacular... Hope that helps
