I have a D975XBX with a Pentium D 930 and the temperatures Im seeing are kind of scary. Its not overclocked at all and I'm running a Zalman CNPS7700. It idles at 50*C and gets to 70*C when I run prime95 on it. I was wondering what everyone else with a bad axe is getting temp wise. I think this board is giving me bad temp readings. What is everyone else getting?
Thanks

That board reads at least 15-20C too high.
Is there a fix?
yes, look at the temp, subtract 15-20C in your head.... :toast:Quote:

My old 660 couldn't even do 4.2ghz with it because of temps being too high. I bought a Tuniq Tower 120 and I was able to hit a max of 4.34ghz with (see link here).
I also had another cnps and replaced it with another Tuniq Tower and in both cases both CPUs reported a nice drop temps in air. My suggestion is to ditch the cnps for a TT120.
hey, quick question. can any 120mm fan be used with the TT120 or just the "special" fan they supply (i guess?).Quote:

I don't know why any other 120mm wouldn't fit though, per specifications on the manufacturer:
It looks like a standard sized fan (though you can't use the uber-wide 120mm versions). Here's the a picture I found on the web, showing the heatsink from the top:Quote:
120mm (W) x 120mm (H) x 25mm (D)

Any 120mm fan can be used.., but you will not see any big improvements... just more noise..Quote:

Well.. the MB temps dropped a little more though (more airflow over MB/NB).
Zalman CNPS-series is not recommended for dual core Intel.. they just don't cut it..
Either a "monster heatpipe-cooler" like TT Thypoon, Scyte Ninja, Tunic Tower etc.. or high-end Water Cooling should be used. especially when OC'ing.. :)
You'd think you could get a board that would report accurate CPU temps for $230. I guess I'll exchange it for an Asus.Quote:
