I think on this one the real readinds are: CPU = 70 (GPU) NB = 42 (AUX) GPU = 36 (MB) MB/Case = 27 (CPU) and the 2 HDs are reporting correctly if its a RAID array, but if not in RAID then temp probably won't be exactly same on both, so one sensor mabe giving reading for 2. My guess is...

I'm not clear on when the temp readings are screwwy, at moment of crash or prior to that? Would've assumed its just at point of freeze-up, except if this is a predictable/recurring event, I'm sure you've sat and watched the reading closely from like 20min till crash, and would thus know if heat...

I really like the Book you're gonna go buy...can I have one too pL33Ze!?! I too wish to be able to OC my CPU 25% in 2.5% increments...is this the Tony Robbins "10 Steps to a New (cp)U !" program? damn, wish I had gone with that one first off...dumb 'ol me had to go with stuff like Garcia's...

seems likely you're just getting crossed signals between sensors and how the labels are being read. should be easy to weed out a few possibilities by first stressing the CPU while GPU sits idle...highest temp will be CPU, next highest is NB, the 2 that are same/similar are the 2 HDs (RAID?)...

Thanks much, just downloaded and gonna give it a whirl! Also a BUMP for any comment on the OC potential of this 3.2 Prescott and if my lame 1% OC with instant freeze at 2% has been seen b4? Are there ever cases when it matters how you OC the CPU, whether from windows via softmod, or from...

While testing various configs to maximize cooling on my very large heat sink, I experimented with whaat you are asking.and concluded a few things: 1) the fan on the downstream-airflow side always experienced increased RPMs: like 4200 -> 4400. 2) Overall temp would drop, but never more than...

well, at about 16" x 16" and weighing in at 7lbs, I obviously presumed your post to be to be a joke...with a humor rating slightly higher than if I were to reply with a pic of my Kmart box fan and suggest you try it next. But then your true purpose became clear to me: You are really a depressed...

well Hello…I like to stumble on into this forum every couple years, AFTER I have just built a new system and have problems…heaven forbid I might actually thoroughly research stuff before doing it. Not really the Design-then-Build type I guess…more the Build-Build-Build-then-Redesign. Keeps life...

I never had use for one before I built my latest system with a P4 3.2...didn't know I was constructing an inferno/incinerator until was too late. But with initial stress tests keeping the CPU at a balmy 80C, I've now got so many CFM's cranking through this case that I really think it might well...

ewww...! Q

LOL...seems getting older hasn't saved me from being abused! :confused: hehehe Q

I'd like the savings, but wouldn't do it unless you guys would. Factory refub-MB a safe bet or no? TIA, Q

I vividly recall that my Dad bored holes in the paddle he used for "enforcment" purposes...I wonder if drilling holes would have any effect? Maybe something worthwhile comes from these painful memories...? LOL...probably not ;) Q

In the brief few days I've been "back" here, I keep reading these references to the forums going down and lost data...can't help but be curious. I guess I'd assume it was just a board upgrade, 'cept everything looks and acts just like I remember... So was there some major fubar? Or simply...
