A7N8X Temperature Problem

[brynerjt]

Hi all,

Im currently having a problem with my ASUS A7N8X motherboard. The BIOS is showing the CPU running at approx. 60-70 degree C, yet the ASUS probe software that came with the MB shows it at approx. 44 degrees. Which one should I believe? The CPU isnt overclocked or anything, so I figured it should definitely be running cooler then this. I have a Volcano 7 on the CPU right now. Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I had the EXACT same problem. It's a defect in the board. Trust asusprobe

Update your bios

I've had it too, but with 1002 beta 1 it works fine, so just update the bios

it seems many people have this problem.

my problem with this board is: why my board is working properly without updating bios? is there any problem? ;-)
my board is revision 1.04 and the bios is 1001.c

<font color=red>listen to me or wait for the next patch!</font color=red>

All I know is that in this forum, it appears that 99% of the A7N8X problems are boards with a bios prior to 1001G. Mine shipped with G and I never had any of the problems that you read about. The general rule of thumb is if it is working fine than don't update it, but then I am the type of geek that relishes in the glory of troubleshooting and updating frequently. I'm up to bios 1002beta4 and it's 100% stable and the bios temps are closer to Asusprobe. I would save your current bios and update.

Nah, updating the bios didn't work. It is most definatley an actual hardware motherboard problem. Doesn't bother me too much. Maybe the sensor got bumped when i installed it, who knows. I just know the board kicks ass.
