When running stress test to check to see what the temps are, The temp gets as low as 7c
And the Fan isn't running at full speed as its not loud at all.

Also i am using the tiny stock cooler..
Just wanted to know if the readings i have are correct.
Also why is my ram running at 666 Mhz when its Meant to be 1333Mhz? I only have one stick of memory

Colder is better for hardware, mine runs at around 6C sometimes, it depends on how cold my room is, but it is fine, if you're worried, but stress it a bit with Prime95 to heat it up a bit, but it's not needed.

The reason your RAM says it is running at 666MHz, is because it is designed for dual channel, meaning 2x 666MHz = 1333MHz in reality. But your 1 stick is still running @ 1333MHz, it just read different. It's nothing major.

Using Prime95 to test it now, I think the readings from AMD Overdrive are wrong as it dropped to 5c, I stopped the fan with my finger see if it rose, it dropped to 1c so i know that its wrong.

Whats a good Temp monitoring Program?
