I'm wondering where the cpu temp sensor is located, because after swapping the stock fan from my 2.4 with my gigabyte 3d cooler pro, i noticed a temp increase to where it used to idle in the very low 30's, it would idle at 40C, and increase from there. From what i've heard, it is a very good cooler and im wondering if the cpu temp diode is just getting the exhaust air from the cooler blown onto the diode. I get the same temps with easytune 4 and mbm5.
Today, i swapped up to a 3.0 800fsb with 1 mb cache, and now it idles at 53. Im really hoping that its just the diode getting exhaust blown onto it. I have an x-alien case with all 6 fans going.
Any advice on the accuracy of the temps would help! thanks
