I just build myself a tbrid 850, and when i run the asus probe software it tells that my cpu is 56 degrees.......but when i go the the bios it only says 45....so which is true??
I used to have the same deal; 55C on a T-850 (not overclocked), with a FOP38 and a housefan. I'm not sure where in the nine-hells the thermistors are on the a7v133. The asus 'probe' is off by 10C (at least), and the bios is off by around 2C. The motherboard temp is close (~1C).
I used a compu-nurse to check my cpu temps, with the thermistor between the cpu and heatsink. The actual/working temp is probably a little lower than that, because I didn't want to crush the thermistor.
Either way, it's a little warmer than it's ntel counterpart.
Start sweating when you hit 65C, or get a copperplate/peltier/waterblock in the meantime.......
Did you buy that compu-nurse from <A HREF="http://www.coolerguys.com" target="_new">coolerguys.com</A>? They said that placing it between the cpu and heatsink could break it. They said just to have it touching the cpu...
