I recently bought a floppy drive, card reader, and extra 80mm fan for my comp. When I added the parts, I checked my temp and the CPU temp is now at 60 C when it used to run about 52-53 C. Here's what Im running

ABIT uGuru AV8 board

AMD 64 3400+

Zalman 7700 all copper heatsink/fan

3 80mm Fans, two on side sucking air from board, one blowing air toward board from front of case

120mm fan in rear

GeForce 6600GT

Creative Audigy 2 ZS

4x512 MB RAM

when I activate the board's temp monitoring program it shows:
CPU: 61 C
SYS: 41 C
PWM: 39 C

Before adding parts with extra fan, temp was about 5-6 degrees cooler. Why the jump in temp?

Try flipping over the new fan and see if that helps.

I tried that, no difference. How do I turn off the Cool 'n' Quiet thing? I know I do it through the BIOS, but I went to that and I can't find it.
