Have you tried Smart Guardian for CPU temperature? It was the only program I found that showed a difference between idle and load temps for the e8400 below freezing. CPU temps need to be converted from 255C = -1C, 254C = -2C and so on. Also, you might need to adjust the cpu temp in the BIOS.


In any case, great water temps! I look forward to seeing the permanent setup.
