i5 2500K temps too high?

[GoogalyMoogaly]

So I've just put together my i5 build using a i5 2500K, MSI Z68A-GD65-G3 and a Silver Arrow.
Now I've not gotten as far as installing Windows yet, but in the UEFI BIOS my CPU temp is showing as 40ºC with the fans on full. currently the CPU is still running at stock speed.

I'm thinking I probably need to remount the Silver Arrow. I'm pretty sure I've got the 'frame' bit on ok as it doesn't seem you can do that bit wrong. However when it comes to using the bracket to hold the SA on I'm not sure if I've under/over-tightened it. Ignoring the tightening bolt in the middle for a minute, how do you know when you got the other 2 screws tight enough?
Now going back to the bolt in the middle, I wasn't aiming for 70lbs I was hoping for the 40lbs of pressure, but I'm not sure quite how to do that. Is 70 done up tight and 40 basically not done up at all so it can be removed?

I'm using IC Diamond 24, but it's really thick, so I'm wondering how much I need to use (I use the blob method as i believe it's supposed to be best, plus I imagine it's near impossible to spread?)

Also, in the BIOS, what sort of temps should I expect to see when the cpu is @ stock? Obviously nobody can give an exact figure, but just ball-park, 35ºC? 30ºC? less?

Thanks.

Thanks.

(On a side note, I think I prefer Asus's UEFI BIOS over MSI's.)

That temp is fine, its because the Speedstep dont work in the BIOS.

Also I beleive the BIOS puts some load on the cpu as well, best bet is to install the operating system and check from there.

It reports to high, same as my MSI P67A-G45.

Once you get into windows and open a temperature monitoring programme, they are all normal. Ignore the BIOS.
