CPU - 42.2
GPU - 55.6
RAM - 53.5
MB - 34.7

All slowly changing (some vary on a couple numbers and others are slowly going up)

Good or bad? Im just on the dash right now. I just got my second jtag in yesterday and my last one got rrod so im trying to stay ahead and beat rrod by adding a ton of cooling systems to it. Its a Falcon v2, it already has a 12v fan mod, and this is with the disc drive out of the console. This seems a little on higher side but thought i would ask what other peoples are

Those temps are worse than my old Xenon. If it has no drive then think about adding another fan into it.

Sweet ok well i guess more fans it is. Im putting a fan over the gpu and also getting extened 20 in dvd drive cables so the drive can sit outside of the console. Should i add those little stick one heatsinks to the ram chips also? Or do those not do much?

There is two spots for a 12v fan mod. So I would say add two 12v fans on the heat sync. The ram is okay no need to add the fans there. Run the drive wires out of the back (Usually there is enough room behind the AV / HDMI port) and close the front drive port off to keep the air cooling.
