Temp senzor on 8kra2+

Can someone tell me what temperaturs are on that borad. Assume that sensor (that little **** in middle of socket) does not show correct state.
XP2500+ at default with thermalright AX7 and 3000 rpm fan idle 49 and load 56C.
Try remounting heatsink several time - no success. I am using AS3 for thermal compond.

So What are your temp with that Borad (8kra2+) PLEASE !!!

On the same mainboard, my Barton 2500+@3200+ (200x11) at default voltage with SLK800. fan 8cm 2800rpm, + AS3
get the following temp. :

board 25° C
CPU 42° C idle, 47° load

room temp. is about 20° C.
The case is a Chieftec with 4 fans 8 cm (2 in - 2 out).

I had the same problem with this board untill I flashed it to the new BIOS dated 10/28/2003. Temps are now 28 board 30 CPU idle.

I don't find any Bios dated 10/28.
The last one available from Epox site is 08/28. Where is this bios downloadable from?
Actually my 8kra2+ has a Bios dated 5th August.
You have to consider that an XP 1800 is much cooler than
a Barton 3200+, so 30°C idle with SLK 800 is not surprising
to me.
Mark

Use the Magic Flash program on the river disk that came with the MB.

Done. I've flashed the last Bios 10/28 (diskette method,
not by magic utility)

Now my temps are :

system 27°C
cpu idle 32°C
cpu load 48°C

the gap between idle and load status is now 16°
and it may be more correct than the older bios
(only 5 degrees) with the same configuration :

Barton 2500+@3200+ default volt.
SLK800 AS3 - 2800 rpm 8x8 fan
Chieftec case with four 8x8 fans
20° room
