Vista - CPU/System Fan Control setting in bios

The monitoring tools in bios shows info about CPU/system fan control. What do
all of the things under the CPU/system fan control mean exactly? Should the
setting be change?

CPU temperature 36c/96.5f
CPU fan speed: 2730 RPM
system fan speed 1170 RPM

CPU/system fan control: enabled
Fan high temp: 65C
CPU fan high voltage 12.0v
System fan high voltage 12.0v

Fan Low temp: 55c
CPU fan low voltage: 5.5v
system fan low voltage 5.5v

Basically, your motherboard can control your fans. The top is the actual
readings from your CPU and system fans. Your CPU is running at 36 degrees
celsius. CPU fan and system fan speeds are below.

The CPU/System fan control means that when your CPU is at 55 degrees or
less, it will run at 5.5 volts, meaning a slower spinning fan and a much
quieter fan. At full speed (12 volts, and above 65 degrees), it will run a
bit louder.

Those settings are fine, its just showing you the temperature of the
processor, some voltages, and RPM settings. If you want to learn more about
it, I suggest going to a place like www.cluboc.net (shameless plug ),
www.hardforum.com, or www.anandtech.com

Should i change the default setting to make it better or is default setting
good enough. What do you think?

Fan high temp: 65C
CPU fan high voltage 12.0v
System fan high voltage 12.0v

Fan Low temp: 55c
CPU fan low voltage: 5.5v
system fan low voltage 5.5v

Standard settings are fine, especially with a regular temp of 36 degrees
right now. Unless you are doing any overclocking, which it doesn't sound
like it.

It won't get any better, performance wise.

that is what the BIOS shows.
you can use another program to read that data and display it in VISTA ..
I use Speed fan,
shows CPU, FANS AND HARD DRIVES,
Temps and fan speeds,

Fan Low temp: 55c
CPU fan low voltage: 5.5v
system fan low voltage 5.5v

since i cleaned the pentium D cooler rpm is at 3670/80 contantly. i dont
see nothing wrong with the cleaning itself, maybe the thermal paste was
not appropriate or what?? maybe a bios change? thanks

well i plced a thinner layer of thermal paste and it seems good now.
how thin the layer should be? sorry if i'm not at the right place to
this subject...
