Hello,
I just bought Scythe Kama Anlge for my Phenom II 965 Black Edition but I'm not impressed with the temperatures I'm getting:

Temps with 965 BE stock cooler:
Idle: 50 c - 52 c
Load: 58 c - 60 c

Temps with Scythe Kama Angle:
Idle: 43c - 45c
Load: 50c - 55c

Are these temps ok?

They are on the high side.. what's you case airflow like?

if thats at stock then thats to high..

make sure the cooler is sitting right.

With Kama Angle installed I had to remove side panel cooler (it's way too big).
So... I have only cpu cooler installed.

Thats the reason, you need the airflow from the case to get cool air to the cpu cooler, That cpu cooler has no airflow when the side is off too.
