X4 955 BE idle temp at 41 degrees C and fan @ 6200RPM
Yes Asigh, the board is OCable.
ASUS M4A78STD-V-EVO
Enabled CnQ in the BIOS and also enabled SMART FAN option.

Disable the smart fan ( its auto thermal control )
Cool & quiet can be enabled no problem - if u r using XP go to control panel power option -> select minimal power configuration
41 Degree is normal for Phenom 2 955

Is CnQ an automatic CPU clock control program. If yes, switch that darn thing off. Now try to get the lowest vCore you can manage on that chip. It could be powered too high, for the requisite clock speed. Most standard BIOS do that. They push in way to much vCore for the designated clock speed.

CnQ automatically control clock speed and voltage ...
But you need to have CnQ software installed in windows and minimal power setting enabled in power manager to get the benefit on CnQ.
If you don't install CnQ software in windows the cpu will run at full clock speed and consume more voltage ( unless value manually set in the bios ).
@ pulsar - as damngoodman999 said try setting the fan speed manually say 60% and see what happens. Measure the temp with core temp to get more precise temps of all cores.
BTW, have you updated your bios to the latest version ??

yes installed CnQ and power setting is set to Minimal power management.
How to set the fan speed to 60% ? I cannot find any option for that in the BIOS. Yes I updated the BIOS to the latest version available.

just follow this steps
the first option is u should make everything manual from auto - as for phenom 2 955 set vcore to 1.30V thats lowest if u dont OC
then NB voltage to 1.25
enable the C&Q , disable the auto thermal management
@ pulsar_swift - as damngoodman999 has suggested if you put fan speed to manual mode you may get this option ... as I've seen such options in mid range mobos for intel procs ... so I was thinking your mobo should have similar option to control fan speed manually .

This didnt work

I have enabled the smart fan and there are temps for fan start and fan full speed.
My room temp is 32 degrees C and the processor is not going below 39degress C.
SO i changed the fan start temp to 45 and full speed to 55. Now the fan rotates at 3750 RPM and CPU temp is 40 -42 under no load. When running MCAFEE ANTIVIRUS SCAN the temp reached 52 degrees C and 36% usage.
I still think that it is high. I have been discussing the issue with CILUS over the phone. His CPU idles at 34 degrees C that a good 6degrees difference from mine.
So the plan is to install a side panel fan CM 90DB blue LED fan and remove the HSF and install it again with TUNIQ TX 2 applied.
What do you guys suggest ? TUNIQ TX 2 will help ?

I had told you to try lowering the vCore, and to turn Cool n Quite and automatic CPU speed control devices off. They are not calibrated for optimization. Most of the time they are pushing extra juice into the chips. Perfect vCore for the speed you want is quite important. Rest is up to you.

Thermal paste is not the magic paste !! to reduce less temperature only reduce 1 or 2 temp with mx2 or tx2 , try to run with lower Vcore
DISABLE THE SMARTFAN CONTROL
DISABLE CASE OPEN STATUS
40 is normal dont panic !
Mcafee antivirus pushes u to 52 ???? thats weird
CAN U POST UR PICTURE OF Ur Inside ur cabinet ??

Asigh,
It didn't work bro.
I disabled every thing from AUTO. Set the Vcore to 1.3V and NB voltage to 1.25. Fan started running at 6200RPM.

yup little job hunting now studying for one big opportunity
@ pulsar_swift
1. Remount the HSF wiuth some good paste.
2. set fan control to manual and let the fan rotate at full speed anything beyond 30C.
I've personally used a AMD Athlon X2 rig - I kept the fan control to manual and fan the speed @ 100% but that did not created any kind of irritating noise
If you enable cnq you should also set the vcore to auto mode as cnq will automatically reduce voltage when the clock speed and cpu usage are low.
But if you want to set the vcore manually then also disable cnq and uninstall it from windows.

Ok let me try this over the weekend and get back with the results.
Posting the pics as suggested.

Ok guys. Problem has been identified HSF is faulty going for RMA.
I am getting a error message in windows 7, cpu fan not working properly, you must shutdown the PC and check it

^^^ exactly what i told u pulsar. heatsink faulty. high temperature normal but weird sound, none will tolerate such things. get it RMA'd soon buddy.
