Ughh! blasted heat!

Ok I built a new system for the brother in law( not a overclocker ) xp 1800 not over clocked with speezeHS and AS3, but temp will not drop below 50c and will not rise with a full load. I have tried a translucent coating of AS3, a thin coat, a thick coat, but nothing works. I am about out of ideas. Help please

As i recall MSI boards don't give accurate temp readouts. Usually +10c. As long as your temps don't raise on load you should be fine.

Update the bios in that case and use MBM5.

I hope so. what can I use to find out the real temps any ideas?

MBMS???

MBM 5 is a type of windows program that reads temps right off your mobo's temperature probes. It can also read voltages for your voltage rails, fan RPM (if connected to the MoBo) and various CPU goodies.

MBM5 = Motherboard Monitor 5

thanks

Thanks guys I downloaded it and it is telling me it is runningat 29c not sure if that is accurate.

Depending on ambient air temp and case air flow, I would think 29c is accurate for an 1800+.
