hot running asus

[FatCat]

My asus a7v133 has a amd1.2 and it runs at cpu55c and mb60c, no matter how many fans or where there mounted I can only get the temp down a few degrees, I ve cleaned and pasted the heatsinks and got no good results.

please help,

even if the case is open?

if it is dont worry, your motherboard propably reads the temperatures to high (it varies between motherboards). if it doesnt crash your temps arent to high

my mobo temp is idle at 52C, because Abit made a design mistake, they put a

HOT THING

near the sensor making the readings way to high.

that took me ages to find out on the internet cause i wasnt the only one wondering whats wrong ......... somebody email abit asking whats wrong and they replied saying that.

oh abit max2 motherboard, the best one and a design mistake lol

its really good though

with the case open it drobs only a few degrees, I have put her in a new alumnium case and got the same results. it runs smooth it just reads high temps in my cmos and the asus probe.

The motherboard temp is definatly inaccurate... There is no way that the board would run hotter than the cpu with regular air cooling.

Thanks for the advice, I will 86 the probe and keep clickin.
