I have the same concern myself. I have a

Pentium4 1.6
EPOX 4SDA+
Volcano 7+
Arctic Silver 3
512 RAM
2 intake and 2 exhaust fans

And not overclocking at all.

and the temperature I got from BIOS reader was 48 degrees. I thought it should be lower, but I don't know
much about monitoring temperature. I installed MBM but I can't figure out where the CPU temperature readout is.

Obiben999 did you fix the problem yet?
