Just replaced my abit 680i with with an Asus Striker eXtreme that I got on the cheap. I pulled the chipset/mosfet heatpipe off and reset it and after a few days it has settled to about 64c at room temp running an e8400 at stock. Seems a little warm to me so I thought that maybe it was loose so I press in hard on the northbridge section but it only drops down to 61c.
Funny thing is when I touch it it does not feel60c+ to me but feels quite cool however both everest 5 & asus pc probe register the same mcp temp. What are the odds their reporting is inaccurate?
Also is there supposed to be a fan for this thing or am I going to have to work with this? It's got a really odd shape so putting on a normal fan may be a challenge.
Bios shows no mcp only cpu(30) & motherboard(34) (and opt 1, 2 & 3 which don't show).
My case is cool as can be and the cpu idles at 27c.
