[edit] I've posted this in the mobo forum, apologies for cluttering up GH!
hi there
i've got an asus p5k-e wifi, when i first booted the machine and checked the cpu temp it was about 17c idle which did seem very cold but my last machine had a rather hot amd with stock cooling so I didnt really know what to expect from a new dual core E2200. Ive upgraded to the latest beta bios and the cpu is now reported as idle at 34c - so now I dont know what temp the cpu is as I dont trust the bios! I plan to overclock but am eager to get stock cooling as low as possible before I begin, I have an AC Freezer 7 Pro on the E2200 using the TIM that came on the cooler (I forgot to order artic silver), does anyone have this bios on this board and know of any issues with cpu temp reporting? The motherboard temp was identical on both the old and the new bios btw, and I didnt move the case whatsoever inbetween the bios flashing.
