Hi All,
Anyone know where the mainboard sensor is located on this board? Although I'm crash-free, I notice a weird thing with the temps.
I'm using the retail HS/Fan with AS2. In a 20C room, my mainboard temp is 30C, CPU idle at 39C. When the machine is under load, the CPU temp will rise 10C, but the mainboard temp does too!
With my old P3 1G/1.75 vcore, thes CPU temp would rise under load, but the mainboard temp would stay the same. My old setup 20C room, mainboard 25C, CPU idle 28C, full load 35C.
Obviously the mainboard temp sensor is in a diff location, as I am using the same InWin full tower, with a 120mm fan in the lower front, 80mm fan upper rear and the Enermax PS with the 92mm fan above the CPU sucking out the heat.
I'm not too worried as it's crash free, but wonder if I should add fans or change the retail hs?
Maybe the sensor is near the Rdram and thats heating things up?
Anyone think an 80mm fan blowing on the rdram will matter?
Any ideas welcome, TIA,
Mike G
P4 1.6A /2.1g 1.5-1.52 vcore
2-256 rdram, no volt mods, 2.48 vrimm
