I'm not sure how hot P4s usually run as I've never had an intel rig before. I do know that you're not in any danger of it burning up or anything like that. 52°C seems a bit high to me but hardly dangerous.

I'm sure someone that are more familiar with P4s could help you out.

The CPU should be in the mid to upper 30'sC when you are not gaming or burning DVD's.

Did you purchase your heatsink with the CPU or was it purchased seperately?

I ask because, with a decent heatsink you can carve off 10 degrees without the need for additional fans.

If it is an Intel heatsink (supplied with CPU), then yes as others have stated:

Check seating/connection of heatsink and HTC paste/pad
Check airflow into case
Is the case a MIDI or FULL tower
Does the PSU push warm air into the intake of CPU fan?

With MIDI, PSU can sit directly over the top of CPU fan - thus restricting airflow and pushing warm air into CPU - either larger case or additional fans....................
