Is This Normal for Temperature?

My E6300 is running at around 41-43 on idle according to the temperature reading in BIOS for my DS3 motherboard. I'm not too sure with these things, but somehow I don't think this is normal. Also, should the system fan/temp = 0? Hope to hear from you guys soon. Oh yeah, everything is stock, no overclocking.

That's a bit high for an idle temp. We've heard of some strange temp readings from the DS3 boards, though. As long as you have good airflow through your case, and have a good heatsink, don't worry what the sensors say your temps are. If it gets too high, it will start throttling. Try downloading this: SpeedFan 4.29, and see what temps you get with it.

I'll go ahead and try it out myocardia, thanks for the suggestion.
