Asus A7N8x Probe

[Recordlord]

I was playing Blackhawk and probe started beeping. I exited the game and looked at the probe monitor. My Mobo's temperature was 201ºF I liked to friggin died.

I ran out of the room and grabbed the first bottle of Halon I could find and told my room-mate to dial 911.

Seriously, It seemed a little unstable during shut down. This might be due to trying close out of Blackhawk though. I pulled off the side panel and everything was ok. The motherboard wasnt hot and it booted to bios but that is far as it got. I heard some rather odd noises coming from the PC like a clicking sound. I tried again and booted ok, but not normal(10 or 15 second longer boot). Its running ok now. I was wondering if anyone who has this board ever has had similar experiences.

I agree totally.. I have ASUS A7N8X Deluxe (Bios version 1001.G) The temps in Bios are WAAAAY higher than they really are... I have Motherboard Monitor 5 as well as actual temp probes that I datoed into the bottom of my water blocks with a dremmel tool so I know they're wrong...

My experiences with anything ONBOARD, whether it's SATA or RAID, have been disappointing at best... I choose to wait for Serial to get better before I buy, and am using a RocketRAID 404 card with 4 Seagate 40's (7200). If you're really serious about SATA, then take a look at this card which comes with adaptors, etc.. http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProduct.asp?DEPA=1&submit=manufactory&catalog=11&manufactory=1640&description=&Order=priceD and read this article about SATA and the various cards used by THG.. http://www6.tomshardware.com/storage/20030204/serial_ata-17.html Hope this helps.. Good Luck !!:)
