Right now my fan speed is running at 1000-1100 RPM, I had to slow down my fan in bios because it was doing 2300 RPM at 40c, I was wondering if 1000 RPM for 50c was fine or if I should turn it up a bit.

The fan will run fine within it's allowable RPM-range of operation, unless you find your particular fan to be too noisy at a given speed...

Are the temps you are reporting at idle? (if so, I'd leave the fan at higher RPM so that temps are not too high under a medium-heavy load...)

YOu may subject your cpu to a medium heavy load approximating that of even the heaviest gaming scenario merely by downloading/installing /running Intel's Extreme Tuning Utility/CPU test, which should have it running at ~63-67C within 2 minutes or so...
