Can anyone tell me what their temperatures are for the A7V266. I switched from an A7M266 to a A7V266 and my temperatures shot up 10 degrees. I am using an SK6 with a Delta fan and get 48 degrees on my A7V266 compared to 38 degrees with my A7M266. Does this temperature seem right for the A7V266?

I get 52 Deg. C with a 1.4 Ghz and my silverado cooler.

Are you sure you got your heatsink seated properly? I've heard that the SK-6 can give you some troubles rather easily about that.

Just to follow up on the last post, if you do install your Heatsink improperly, you will notice an increase in temperatures. I actually made the mistake myself. My temperatures were reaching 50C idle. I finally double checked the heatsink and noticed that there is a side that has a "step" under the heatsink. This side must be installed on the socket step where the CPU is put in place. If you don't, the heatsink will tilt to one side and will not make proper contact.

Yeah it is seated properly. I even tried lapping it and it is still at 48 degrees.
