my first Chaintech board was DOA but now i got my New one in and have 2 tbred week 48 and week 3 2100's and they both are topping out at about 2250 @ 1.8 now i got corsair pc3500 just fyi. question is these babies are showing to be running hot i am using a volcano 7+ and got a 9 too.at rest digi doc (proprietary chaintech mb monitoring tool) about 58c with load going to 65c @ 1.75-1.80 vcore. From what ive been reading and the reviews ive seen this seems to be a little high for these chips with these coolers. i read a few roundups and the 7+ isnt bad. the bios seems to colaborate these temps as well. i have a 462 but lost all the brackets from a previous overclock currently looking to get replacements. im using arctic silver three. does anyone have suggestion or opinion do you think this is simply a case of mis-reading bios? also i cant seem to figure out which sensors to use with mbm5 and this board anyone know? i got another 2100 and 4 1700s on the way for testing. btw i have good case cooling and not much difference with side off either.
