Official GIGA P35-S3/DS3/DS3R/DS3P/DS4/DQ6 bios/info thread

Hi! I've just bought myself a new video card (Gainward BLISS 8800GT Golden Sample 1GB) and though it came with a special cooler it is still warmer than my previous Palit 8600GT Sonic+ and now my mobo's (p35-dq6) temperature is 40-41 idle and 44-46 under load (Crysis) from 38-39 idle and 41-42 load with the previous VGA card. So I was wondering if 46 degrees C is too high for my mobo. Thank you!

What are you using to measure the temperature of the motherboard? I use speedfan and although there are a few temperatures they are not labelled and I guess which is the cpu temp. I think the temperature is ok, aslong as your previous settings are stable.

I use Hardware Sensors Monitor 4.3. It reports CPU temps 10 degrees lower but the other temps are reported more accurate I think. I noticed that it doesn't report GPU temp anymore like it used to do with my other VGA card. The temps aren't assigned either so I had to guess them. The one which I suppose it's the SB temp varies between 38 and 46 degrees C. My old Epox 8RDA3+ didn't go higher than 33 degrees and that's why I'm a bit worried. If 46 is not high for a modern mobo then what is high? Maybe someone will post their temps as well.
