hey guys -

In need of a little help, just assembled my machine a little while ago... and my pross is running at about 58-66 degrees idle, I've checked the heatsink, re-did the paste, etc... nothing seems to be helping. Any thoughts?




Any help is appreciated. My sig has the specs of my machine.

thanks...

Get yourself a thermal detector at:

Slip the detector between the heatsink and the cpu substrate. Don't force it. You don't want to get it between the heatsink and the die.

This will give you a very good idea of what temp your cpu is running at.

Awesome!

Looks like a worthwhile purchase so I know exactly what I'm running at, love the board, kinda bummed out it doesn't report the temps correctly, small bump in the road though.

First time posting any results on here

I'll do some sandra benches and post them when I get home.

Aprreciate it Placid, JimmyG...

Welcome to the forum.

Don't feel bad about the board.

I had not heard that ABIT boards read wrong, but all of the stuff that I have read says that most boards are pretty far off from what the temp actually is.

I use an ASUS board. ASUS boards consistently read +10 C high. I fretted about that for months until I found out about it. I use the temp sensors from CrazyPC to monitor my CPU and exhaust from the PSU. The MOBO temp I ignore.
