Downright chilly.
It's unusual to only have a 10*f temp differential between case and CPU unless it's idling after the case warmed up. Try it while crunching something. Prime95, or folding.stanford.edu tasks work well. Idle temps don't tell you about headroom.
Also, to know what's "hot" you have to know which processor down to the core. There are many specs for the various processors.
Still curious what program you're using to monitor temps.
What's the room temp?
