My Core duo CPU is reported as having a temp of 23 C w/both cores at 35C.

How to I interpret that. Which figure is more relevant.

BTW - this is done w/out a CPU fan - I am using the new Thermalright HR-01
with the fan duct. However, w/no CPU fan and no power supply fan (Antec
semi-fanless PS), the system is no quieter than my last one. The two case
fans, while quiet, don't produce a quiet PC.

They are both relevant. The CPU temp displayed in the BIOS, ASUS Probe 2, or
Speedfan, is measured by a thermal diode on the CPU die, while core temps
are measured by a digital thermal sensor near each core. The location of the
two digital thermal sensors is significantly hotter than the location of the
single thermal diode.

Are the readings below reasonable/safe.

Actually, your temps seem lower than what is typical for air-cooling, with
this board/CPU. Assuming they are correct, though, they are fantastic temps.

I'd call them excellent.

I am using Coretemp and my temps for both cores (E6600) are 50C under
normal/light use. Is that Ok?

Yes. Under 70C and you're good to go.
