I just recently upgraded to 64-bit. You will find my setup specs below. I have been running my 3200+ at 2.3Ghz (230 fsbx10) on stock volatges. I have'nt went any further because my RAM is holding me back. The temps (taking readings from bios screen) never go beyond 29°C. It has been idling at 25°C. I have the Artic Cooling 64 Freezer Pro. Is it really that bad ass? I plan on going to 240 or 250 fsb when I get my new RAM. I'm used to 40°C+ temps with my overclocked Athlon XP w/ SLK-900. Also, my computer has been locking up when I go into the "PC Health" section of the bios. I have updated to the current bios version. Anyone have any ideas?

Computer Specs:

Abit KN8 Ultra
3200+
2X512 Corsair Value PC-3200 <--Being replaced with G.Skill PC-4000 this weekend.
Artic Cooling 64 Freezer Pro
 
Are you sure you're not looking at the system/ambient temp or chipset temp reading?
 
nope, I'm looking at the CPU temp reading. I mean I'm not complaining but I just wanna know if this is normal?
 
Well you're not going to ever get a "load" temp in the BIOS so you'll need to run some Prime in Windows and check the temps there. (as well as your "real" idle temps)

29C/25C seems pretty chilly but that cooler is excellent and you probably have good case air flow.
