Sometime ago I bought a ECS C19-A and dropped an 820D in it, to be used as a 'cheapie' dedicated folding machine. I had always turned up my nose at ECS, but I have to say, it's not a bad board. I have not OC'd it at all, primarily because I'm just using the stock hsf. I have no accurate way of determining what temperature the processor's running at, because the board didn't come with any type of hardware monitoring utility. Neither SpeedFan or MBM5 work with this chipset.
I know that sitting in the BIOS it idles @43c, but with both cores running at 100% with fAh the temps are considerably higher.
Anyone using a temp monitoring program that reads ECS boards?
