KV8 Pro CPU temp & Keyboard/Mouse queries

Archived from groups: alt.comp.periphs.mainboard.abit (More info?)

Hi All

Just got a KV8 Pro board with AMD 64 3200+ CPU & Akasa 855 cooler, Abit EQ
reports the temperatures as follows at idle, CPU 56c, SYS 35c and PWM 36c .
The CPU rises to about 60/62c under sustained full load. Other cooling on
the system is a 120mm rear Akasa fan pulling air out and a 80mm no name fan
on the case side pushing air in.
As this is my first Abit board (always had Asus) & AMD 64 can anyone tell me
if those temps are OK? I have heard and read that Abit reported temps are
between 10 & 15c high is this the case with the KV8 Pro?

I have disabled Cool & Quite in BIOS and the EQ fan control so all fans are
working at max.

The keyboard query is that when the PV has been shutdown the keyboard lights
are still active and my optical mouse is still lit, is this normal?

Thanks
