It says my motherboard is unknown but I have a nVidia Nforce 680i SLI .

Memory: Corsair CM2X1024-6400 PC2-6400 (400MHz) 2x1GB

PSU: Thermaltake Toughpower 700W

Cooling: Factory CPU heatsink, replaced factory thermal grease with Arctic Silver 5. 2x 250mm intake fans (one on front and one on back), open exhaust vent in the back.

Idle temps: CPU- 38C, System 28C, GPU 56C. I used nvidia monitorview that was on my motherboard.

Working Temps (while zonealarm AV, Adaware, windows media player, and firefox was runing for 30 mins): CPU-41C, System-30C, GPU: 56C

Load up a stress test program for 10 minutes or so, like ORTHOS, and use SpeedFan to see your loaded temps. Those programs running don't provided 100% CPU utilisation, and hence not fully loaded.

After 10 mins of Prime95's torture test

Speed Fan Readings:

System-65C
CPU-49C
AUX-30C
HD0-30C
Core0-45C
Core1-44C
Core-56C

49C for CPU under load is pretty good for stock clocks. However 65C system is pretty worrying. Maybe run ORTHOS again and check the temperatures with NVIDIA MonitorView for some consistency. My bad for not noticing you were using that already.

It's kinda weird though because when I use Speedfan it always says 65. I check with Nvidia Monitorview and it says 32C.

Yeah, that's more like it. It's probably a bad reading from SpeedFan. I think you're pretty much set for overclocking, just read up on the guides in this thread if you need some pointers.
