to be honest: your temps before installing the fans were very good. the atom has a max cpu temp of 90°C. when its very hot outside (about 26°C in my living room) i have between 20-24°C on my cores. the gpu temp is never below 46 here. when watching a hd movie it goes up to about 52°C. that is fine with the ion. i am sure that the gpu will always be hotter than the atoms, so no idea why zotac said, that the gpu should be cooler than the atom.

it seems to me that speedfan is somehow not correctly reading your CPU temps, but I also had serious problems with speedfan correctly reading the smbus in my foxconn netbox, just too many different chips on the market.
less than room temperature is just not possible without some kind of liquid cooling
the usual temps for atom&Ion systems when idling are, as andy stated above, around 30 to 40 degrees celsius for the CPU and 40 to 50 for the GPU (of course depending on case and airflow). when watching HD movies, just add around 10°C to that.

I second the notion that those cold temperatures are obviously inaccurate. It's not possible for it to get colder, it's a computer, not a refrigerator.

The BIOS will be accurate. The other programs are good to go for other users. Apparently, they just don't support the Atom/chipset.

Is there overclocking software that will automatically overclock for me that you guys have used on these boards. I really don't want to play around in the bios changing voltage and FSB. I have no knowledge about that and i wouldn't want to mess anything up..I read that these overclock easy to 2.0ghz if you change the FSB..anyone with prior experience overclocking these boards that could help me out?

If you are gonna do it, put the FSB at 667MHz and don't touch the voltages. You will hit 2.0GHZ per core easy, the maximum it will do. This gives the CPU a 25% bump, but I feel its useless as you can't tell anything different in XBMC.
Now my overclocked single core ION Netbook overclocked to 2.2GHZ does make a difference, but that is because its only one core and OSX really likes just tha

Oh ok i will do that hope i see a difference..
