Just installed with Arctic Freezer Pro 7, in bios it currently displays around 32-35 idle, this about right? Should I set bios to let the fan run at full speed all the time?

Also whats the best program to check the temperatures from windows?

Thx
 
What motherboard is it? And what are you using to monitor temps? I take it its a C2D chip?

/EDIT

I was being a numpty there, your reading temps in bios. Your best bet to monitor temps is to use Intels TAT or Core Temp within windows as these two programs will give your a more accurate reading. On Easytune5 my CPU temp was around 12C lower than that of the above two programs.

BIOS is just the socket temp, as said above core-temp and TAT will be accurate as they read the actual core temps, my BIOS says im idling 28-31, core-temp says my actual cores are 40-41, i dont have my Freezer 7 pro running full speed, just have it set to PWM so it runs about 1200rpm's about half speed, and its fine, temps are low enough at that. :)
