ok this is my system, which is watercooled: abit it7 1.6a NW @ 2.51 --- 1.6(real time) volts 2x 512 Corsair 512MB DDR XMS3200 @210fsb 2.7v Geforce 256 no pci cards 80gb ibm 7200rpm hdd ata100 16x dvd (on another cable) @ no load the temps are: cpu : 40c chipset: 31c @ load the temps are: (sandra high stress) cpu 45 chipset: 35 i've tried using a fan to blow on the cpu but no change. any idea why im getting high temp to start?
I really wouldn't trust an onboard thermistor for temps when using a watercooling setup. So i wouldn't worry about those temps..and they are better than alot of HSF's anyway
Well..I think the best way would be the built in temp sensors (as in the athlon xp's, only certain newer boards read from those)...next would be a digidoc sensor taped close to the core. Anybody else?
