I was wondering what the temperature range was for dual intel Xeon e5-2670 cpu at idle. I know max is 81c. My BIOS show they are running in the mid 40's but my software shows them in the mid 30's. My fans speeds are set to 4. My fans are a little loud. I want to turn down fan speeds but don't know what temperature is safe. Also can I trust software monitors for temperatures?

I have an Asrock EP2C602-4L/D16 mobo
NVIDIA Geforce gtx 1080 graphics card
Dual Xeon e5-2670 cpu
with 4~120mm fan and 2~200mm fans
CPU Fans Are the thermal side ways fans ( don't remember name and size)

Being warmer in BIOS than once the OS is loaded is normal. Mid 30's is fine (it's cooler than your own body), you should only be concerned by maximum temperature at full load. Idle at 40-45°C definitely is not an issue if your goal is to lower the fan noise.
