I just setup up a E6300 with an intel DG965WH motherboard (Retail Edge package) and my CPU temps seem very high. On the stock cooler i was getting around 55 idle and 62+ on 100% load using TAT.

So now i bought an Arctic freezer 7 pro and installed it but i get almost the same readings. At idle i'm getting 53/54 and at load im hitting the low 60's.

Now i've tried to increase the cpu fan rpm but for some reason there is no possible way to do it either with a program or in the BIOS. In the BIOS the fan reads at 800 rpm with is pretty low...help? Thanks
