I just built a rig for my brother with the following:
P4 2.8E w/ swiftech MCX-478-v(vantec thermoflow)
abit ic7-g
1gig corsair value ddr3200
saphire 9800pro-128mb
and used some of my old harddrives etc. for the rest.
now here is the problem, the thing idles at 60c. I know that the prescott cores overheated, but I also heard that the IC7 series is very unreliable in the tempurature probe department. My question : presume I have the thermal paste on properly, is this the actual tempurature, or is it wrong. If so, just how wrong?
thanks
