As you guys might now that on the Asus Striker II Formula, their NB chipsets run quite hot at default voltages.

Mine can range from anywhere from 60 to 70.

I have a 120mm fan blowing on the nb and run 50C at 1.8Vnb on the striker II formula at 475fsbx8 and a q6600, the nb does not get hotter with volts for me, it is at 50C for 1.5Vnb also.

You will also notice in the screen shot 1.8vnb is still not red and is only yellow warning in bios. It also needs +40mV nb gtl to run that speed.
