No fans blowing in standby

[monster64]

I thought I had a problem with my computer. During standby mode, none of my fans in my whole computer spin. At first I thought this was a problem. I decided to do a test. I ran prime 95 small ffts for max heat with the fan running and my full load temp was 48C. Also my northbridge was running at 33C full load. Then I ran prime 95 small ffts and put the computer into standby. Prime was running for about 1 hour and I had my temp monitor running so a soon as the screen turned on and the computer went out of standby, and the fans started blowing again, about 3-4 secs passed. I read the temp. It was 48C on the cpu and 34C on teh northbridge. I'd give it maybe an additional degree of C, so lets say 49C on the cpu, 35 C on the northbridge. I have an XP-90 heatsink and a 3500+ venice OCed to 2.7 ghz. Do I even need a cpu fan? Does anyone?

not in standby...nothing is running

In standby, everything is dumped to RAM, and thats all that is kept running.
