Lex, I know your runnning a simular set-up, could you tell me what your Asus Probe CPU temperature is at?
Currently mine is reading 57-60C @ 1898 mhz (13x146) This seems a bit high to me, however even at stock 2100+ XP speeds, the CPU reads somewhere around 55C. Core Voltage is at 1.75V.
I had heard the diode reading can be different than themistors on the mother board. It seems 40-50 C is the norm for people with thermistors, yet my Asus Probe stated the stock speed temps are higher than that at 54-55C.
Is this because the 2100+ runs hotter?
Could it be a diode bias?
Maybe I should re-mount the HS?
My case seems very cool to the touch and the case temperature is at 30C. There are no hot spots in the case. The heat sink is luke warm to touch and the air coming from it is relatively cool to warm. I'm sucking air through the heatsink as Alpha recommends rather than blowing through the heat sink.
I have enable Qlogic and noticed the CPU fan spin at 3200 when the system is just started and then most times it seems the A7V will run it at around 2700RPM. Thermo shut down by default is set at 80C so it seems as if I'm with in the Asus's operating window.
I'm suspecting that the on-die diode maybe giving a more accurate or biased CPU temperature than the motherboard thermistors. Typical MB themistor temps tend to be in the 40-50C range, where as the on-die diode reading of my Asus is at 50-60C.
