Hi I just built my new system (should be in my sig below) and I plan to OC like crazy as that's what I've read the Opterons do best.
But I install the Smart Guardian software that comes with the DFI LP UT NF4 DR SLI Expert mobo and looked at my temps. Says my CPU is 26-28C, PWMIC is 32-34C (what is that anyway?), and chipset is 48-50C!
The chipset seems a bit high to me, is that a bad temp? I'm loving the mobo so far but it seems that the chipset is in a really bad place as it's right between both vid cards (got SLI going) and right next to where the hot air exits out of the top card on it's left and on the right are all the HDD connections so they block airflow coming from the front of the case!
So I'm wonder if this is a high temp for a chipset or not and when I go to OC how much on average does the temp of a chipset go up?
