Hi all. I just bought a new Dell XPS 410 Desktop. I like it a lot. Intel Core 2 Duo, 2GB RAM, GeForce 8600 GTS, 256 MB, etc. Pretty sweet. Big upgrade from my Amd Barton 2500 OC'd to 2.3 GHz, 1.25 GB RAM, ATI 9800 Pro 128 MB.

Also, got my first LCD. 19 inch wide-screen. Very nice.

My question is this: At idle CPU temp is 45 C. I've noticed that the fan is running much faster at POST than while in Win XP Pro. I'm sure Dell thinks that the temps are within specs but I would like to make the CPU fan run full tilt. I've gone through the BIOS and can't find any settings for fan speed. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
