p5w dh and pentium D 930 temps

[DsM]

i am showing that my CPU is 46C and my board is 55C... i this normal? it seems odd to me that the board would be hotter than the cpu... am i wrong? its not over clocked at all by teh way... stock heatsink and fan...

Ya my board runs warm too .. guess the 975x runs really warm... my Antec P160 temp probe says the NB is 57c !

I'm wondering if those damn heatpipe actually work better than simple HS. Temp didn't look so high before they switched to HP.

yes , interresting question .

Was proved that passive cooling not specially better than HS but less noiser

At stock frequencies passive should be enough .

Yeah I get the same thing with my setup.

My 840D EE is 36c while my NB temp is 43c

Same here , Cpu runs at 48~50 on stock cooler , while NB was at 54~56 (stock speeds)
I just removed the metalic "digital home" cover , and placed an old AMD fan over it , now it doesnt go above 40 C
