A7N8X MB/CPU temperature

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

What are the temperature readings on your A7N8X?

I've a fully loaded Athlon 2600+ (Barton) on a A7N8X-VM,
temperature readings are:
CPU: 55C, MB: 43C

Normal? Anything to worry?

CPU Heat Sink is original AMD copper/aluminum HSF.

MB temp seems a little bit high

A7N8X 2.0 - temp measured with Asus PC Probe

The BIOS reports the Socket Temperature. You need something like
Mother Board Monitor (http://mbm.livewiredev.com/) to be able to read
the Diode Temp.

You temp of 55C (which is the socket) is a little high. The diode temp
will probably be 65 - 70C.

Also the MB temp of 43C is a little high. Obviously it depends on your
room temp.

With a room temp of 21C I would expect the MB temp to be 25 - 27C.

I think you need to address your case cooling in order to reduce all
your temps.

As you're from Germany, what's your room temperature. Mime
is like 26-28C in this week. I envy your 28C MB
temperature!
