Temps are fine. You will have to get it into windows to see some real idle/load temps.

When a system is in the OS and idle, the CPU clocks down to save power and heat.

As it gets hotter, the cpu fan will speed up as needed, OR can be disabled in the bios(turn Qfan to OFF). With it off, the fan will run full speed all the time.

Fans controlled by q-fan will go full speed. not all boards control all fans. CPU fan will go full for sure.

The low limit is a safety. Lets say the fan starts to fail and slow down, if it hits that limit the board will most times beep or even shut down to prevent cpu damage. It is like how a car will ding at you or show a light if you do not put on your seat belt.

k 1 final question off topic -
2 pcs 1 monitor
1 pc is hmdi - pc2 is vga
monitor is hdmi + vga socket

attatched 2 cables to the monitor 1x vga 1 x hmdi
plugged them into both pcs but powered off.
which ever 1 i turn on - monitor sits in stand by.

if i just run 1 pc through the monitor say hmdi or vga works...
attactch 2 pcs 1 vga pc with cord to monitor and 1 pc to monitor
on hdm i --- monitor just blinks and standby

bottom line i have 2 desk tops pcs - 1 hdm1 gpu socket
and 1 desktop gpu vga - some how or way im looking for
a way to run them both through this monitor which does have
a vga/hdmi port --- it just doesnt seem to like 2 pcs hooked to it
or im doing it wrong ?

Auto switching does not always work well.

You should use the input select or source button on the screen it self to see if you can get to the active pc.

I personally and running 2 computers on the same screen as we speak. 1 VGA and 1 DVI. I just use that button to swap and a sharing usb hub to swap devices from pc to pc.

Biggest shame is it is now discontinued. I had one from another company for years and got 2 of those just in case i have one fail. Best device every made. each pc can have any device routed to it. so card reader on PC A mouse on PC B ect
