Fanless Ninja 2 and E5200

I got this cpu(not overclocked) with a fanless ninja2 and my idle temperature is 48C. Is this normal?

depends on the rest of the system, is it a htpc/micro system?

case?
fans?
graphics?
etc..

lots of factors to consider but just under 50c does seem a little much for idle.

heatsink may need reseating.

Idealy you need to check full load temps, personaly keep them under 75~ and you will be fine.

Yeah, you should be fine if they're just idle temps. My A64 X2 5000+ with AK876 sits at about 42*c idle and that's coping fine.
