checked my water block, thermal grease, water pump, everything is in check. temperature still 50* @ idle
was 36* before, could I have damaged my chip?

Ditto that here. I am running an LC set up that I know should be providing near ambient at idle.Originally Posted by chocobo15
I am get 47C idle temps at 3600...ridiculous...
The board takes a lot of juice to run at high FSB too...
On the bright side it OCs the RAM great.
I was able to Fold solid at 3700...but for the slight gain in speed the volts are insane.

this could be down to the same problem we had with our block, the gluing process of the block to the heatsink leaves gaps (spots of regular epoxy with no thermal paste to bridge the gaps). One other thing, to get good temps you have to run strong fans even when using water cooling, which kinda defeats the object. A one piece waterblock directly mounted to the IHS would have fared far better. I have a feeling that just like the CPU's, the Northbridge IHS's won't all be flat either, and there's no easy way to even begin thinking about lapping them..
Exact same thing here. Stock Idle 47C ???? And 47C load?! Weird.
No way...not with a PA160...
I dunno man either the figures are bogus or this board rons 20C hotter than anything I've put the G0 in.
What's weird is the first BIOS the temps were way too low...17C idle
