    Anyone know what the temps for this should be? At stock 1.8 Ghz it would idle around 37/38 and now it's a 2.0Ghz and idles at 43. Is that too high or at what point shold I stop Oc'ing with regards to temp if everything is stable?

    After a cold start my temps are at 29 already even at 1.8 and goes up to 34 before levelling off. Any cause for concern or when should I start getting worries?

    There was a BIOS option to set the CPU fan target. Now it's @ 2.0ghz @ 41.5 degrees under full load. I'm happy enough with that.

    Mine is overclocked to 2.4. Idles around 34, with the fan at 1/4 speed. Load at 43, with the fan at full speed.

    Different motherboards, different reporting of temps. Take it with a grain of salt...... sometimes there can be 10'C in the reported difference while the chip is running at the same temp.

    Yours should be grand nothing to worry about......

    Plus if you have Cool N Quiet enabled that will effect your idle temps. Comparing load temps (ie when running Prime95 - google for download) is far more accurate.

    Simona, mine is with an XP-90 with a generic 92mm fan. Just had a look-see, turns out it's running at 800 rpm when on slow speed. Full speed is 2600 rpm.
