What can this be?

Yes, you want to measure the CPU, not the area in the socket. lol

Also, look at my temps with water - the thermisters obviously aren't very accurate, but I achieve those temps that are in my sig.

How are you measuring your temps?

Based on everything I know, which is not everything, it is impossible to dissipate that much heat with air cooling.

The BEST heatsinks on the market right now have a C/W rating of .17 or so on mobos.

i am using the motherbord temp sensoes and a Raytek Raynger ST Pro Temperature Sensing Laser to get my temps

i am using an slk 800 and a smartfan 2 on it


laser temp is a lil lower (1c)

Do you have any pics of the inside of your case ???

I would love to see how your setup is working, if you really have those kind of temps I need to do some work...

I gotta get my temps like those.

My temps are usually 28c mobo and 45c cpu at full load...

Wish I could have a 1c differential with air...

my CPU/MB temp is usually within 3-4 C of each other. (it really shoots up when i overclock it though) and i know the sensor is making good contact with the proc because i put thermal paste on it

ill take some and post them as soon as i can get a scanner that i can use

i think u just need to clean up your case to improove air flow and put a really good hs with as2-3 on it

I have an Alpha PAL 8045 with a Delta 80mm...

I have 2 x 120mm intakes in the front and 2 x 92mm exhaust in the back plus the two PSU fans and a slot cooler for my vid card.

I have wrapped all the PSU wires in heatshrink and tied them to the side and bottom of my Antec 1040SX case. I also took all the IDE cables and ran them behind my mobo to have as much clear space as possible. I am also using AS 2 on my Alpha...

I am pretty sure that I can't do better with air cooling. I have so much air flow through my case that cigarette smoke gets sucked in from 2 metres away. And it sounds like I have a vacuum cleaner on my desk. Seriously the 2 x 120mm fans drown out the screaming Delta with ease...

 

[TLKfatman]

that sounds nice
but i done know how good the Alpha PAL 8045 work
i would think the black paint would not be good for heat transfer
so the only thing i would think about is to get a better hs

is there artic silver on that hs?
is it smooth and flat?

It is quite possible to have the same CPU temp as motherboard these are my temps I have an AMD Athlon XP 2200+ with an SLK-800 with Sunon 80mm 50.6 CFM fan I have 3 fan's on intake and 2 fan's on exaust (4 if you include PSU). In a Chieftec Dragon DA-01SLD Full tower ATX Case. These are my acual temps unedited.

BTW: I live in Massachusetts and I have 2 window fans blowing into my room my room is litterally in the upper 50's in Farenghiet (sp?) Thats why my processor temps are so low.

 

[TLKfatman]

is that load temps or idle?
and how do i take a pic like that so i can post my temps?

 

[BinarySuperman]

hold alt and press print screen, but make sure u click on the mbm dashboard window first, then go to a program like paint and go to edit paste, in my case i use photoimpact.

ps i doubt those are load temps cause his cpu load says 0
