Ok, here I have my temps. I got Motherboard Monitor so I didn't have to worry about that incompatable ABIT EQ.
Idle (full fan speed): 36* C CPU/36* C Case/31* C PWM
Load (full fan speed): 44* C CPU/44* C Case/35* C PWM
Idle (2100 RPM): 36* CCPU/36* C Case/34* C PWM
So as you can see that kinda surprised me. I think whats happening here is that the CPU is not generating enough heat to make the HSF work at full capacity. I think if I overclocked to say... 2.6-2.7 GHz I would see a difference in fan speeds. Either that or something is terribly wrong here. I think it also has to do with the fact that my HSF is in a tower configuration and it performs considerably better in a desktop configuration.
