Question: I've read a few places that the Asus boards read a little higher - anywhere froma few degrees to 10 degrees. Is this actually true, and does anybody have a rule of thumb worked out for guestimating your CPU and MB temp?
Right now, I'm watching my system stay at 51/38 CPU/MB, even when I'm doing some heavy gaming. On the forums, I've read temps in the low to high 40s for an AMD XP2100 on an Asus board.
This is far from scientific, but I can put my hands anywhere in/on the case and it's just above room temp, so I don't think things are in too bad of shape.
To test and make sure it wasn't the Asus monitor software, I loaded up Motherboard Monitor 5 and ran them side by side. Little wonder, both apps reported exactly the same temps and voltages.
So if the Asus boards DO report around 10 degrees higher, I shouldn't sweat it right?
