I read your previous post on page 40 and you reported NB temps spiking to 90c. I would carefully monitor your cpu temps!

My cpu temps were/are fine. Using a TRUE, under load prime small fft or intel burn test never got over 80c. Most of the time under load was 74-77. that 90 spike went away after i added fans to the nb area. Here are some pics of what i added. I just added an 80mm and a 40mmm fan. they are sitting on the video card aiming at the NB HS, either side of the TRUE. For sure this wasn't enough to change the CPU temps much. Since the cpu temp doesnt correspond to the core temps in everest, maybe the cpu/nb temps are actually nb? or is it fact that there is no nb sensor? are there any x58 boards that have a nb sensor?




Oh and by the way, the aluminum 40mm fan has a leather pad veclrod to it so it isnt sitting directly in the vid card..
