Yup,, it reads the Temps higher than normal or any other Mobo ive used so far 770/790gx/790fxsb600/790FX750..It seems ASUS 79-T reads about 8-10c higher across the Board in Bios and in Windows.

Note:@ 22c room abiant temp

All other Mobos @ 1.55vid with 1.65volts for both NB and CPU ive always been @ 26c Idle..

The ASUS 79-T puts me @32c Idle @ 1.55vid and 1.65volts for both NB/CPU.

Same Watercooling was used for all of my Mobos. Ive even tried my 6000+ which also reads about 8c higher..So its a Mobo Bios issue indeed

Sometimes with ACC on +4 or +2 it would lower the temp some but never below 30c idle on my 9950(140watt)@3.5ghz
