    Do these temps look good for my specs?

    Looks like you still need to offset your GPU temp. Most, if not all, of us E1705 owners need to add +8C to the GPU temperature to get a correct reading.

    How would I go about doing that? This program has a lot of options to choose from, should I tell it to kick the fan into High when the GPU temp gets to like 50C?

    Go into options, advanced, then put an 8 in the box that says "gpu temp offset"

    Here's what my settings are like. It got warmer because I was playing BF2 Earlier:

    And also, when I'm just doing internet or ms office, I manually set both fans to slow
