High NB with 3870x2

[paulh]

Hi Guys.

has anyone esle noticed v high NB with a 3870x2? after an hour of gaming my Nb hits about 62c. my card is running both gpu's @ 840 and memory @ 955 it was never that high with my old x1950pro (512mb).

Could it just be the extra heat from the card (tops out at about 75c)?

I know the summer is here and its getting warmer now but this shouldn't make that much difference should it?

Other details are in my sig below!

Cheers
Paul

I think this is a case of, if nothings crashing then it doesn't matter

I'd say increased temps from summer, dust build up and extra heat from the X2.

seems stable enough, i'm not too worried about it, just dont like seeming the NB that high.

I'm sure its not dust. i'm quite anal when it come to keeping my rig clean. (as i'm sure most of us are!!!) LOL

Cheers tho.
