[Slackmaster]

Got the machine running..and it's stable.. until a load is introduced... MBM says it's at 29C...... Bios says 68C...... what gives???????? I have flashed the mobo with the bios version that was pertaining to incorrect temps being displayed.... but still nothing seems to make a difference!!!!!!!!!! I need it to be a little cooler!!!!!!!!!!! Running 154 FSB on CUSL2 @1.8V .. VIO jumper is set to default 3.4 volts... MBM shows it at 3.46 Also.. 1.8V shows up as 1.86V......... Bios Ver 1002,tried 1003.... but it's the same as far as the different temps....

What case are you using? Is the power supply sitting above the box or infront of it (if you lay the tower on its side)?

Main priority is clear airflow in the case, air flowing in from the front, being sucked out the back, system exhaust extractors are good also to suck air from the middle of the case, top and side fans help (preferably ones of a 120mm sort)

Tie all cables back and make as much space in the case as possible to get that heat away from that chip.

One other thing that may help is to introduce a peltier. Is this a slot or flip chip processor? As if it is a flip chip you will need a copper space to get maximum performance.

Hope this helps.
