Hi,
I'm using the latest BIOS on my IC7 with a Prescott 3.0E D0 stepping.
The problem is that using my Spark 7+ cooler which kept my 2.8C M0 nice and cool on my last motherboard(intels own 865) my new board reads 46'C idle and over 60'C load (which sounds alarms).
I have read about the ABIT IC7 over estimating the CPU Temp by as much as 10'C because of the way it calculates it. Is this still the case with the latest BIOS and if so what do you suggest I can do about it? (I have tried re-seating the CPU).
I have the fan set at 4Krpm although at 6.5Krpm it only saves me 3'C ish!!
Cheers
