You should try TAT though to get your core temps, (or CoreTemp, or SpeedFan) SpeedFan, for instance, speedfan has a CPU temp, and that corresponds to the temp of AsusProbe (p5b-d), but it also has temps for both cores which read right from the core itself. For instance right now, SpeedFan has...

"Idling at about 26C-28C core with Zalman 9700" There is always someone around with "magic" temps... congrats you are he!

You already have it, the speedfan.chm file is pretty good, and steps you thru setting it up. I too thought it was a bit complicated until I saw a tip posted re: using Configure/Advanced and setting the fan DIVISORS to 32 to get my fans to show a speed. Then with the help file it all worked out.

I'm basically in the same boat. In fact, I just ate it on a zalman 9500 which came with the "quiet pc" and switched to a 9700 since it fit in the same adapter. (and since there is PLENTY of space for it in the p180) Asus p5b-d, e6700 running @ 3.2ghz. However I have all my fans on slow...

How are you getting the temps? They seem really low. First off your MB (system) temp @ 33, perhaps it's quite cold in your room, but mine runs around 38 at idle But the CPU temps is what I'm wondering about. I get 34c STOCK (e6700) with a Zalman 9500 and a nexus 120mm right above it. So...

Thanks both for the lapping tip, I'm looking into it now and am planning to do it. Also looking at the Scythe Infinity as a replacement... though I looks a bear to mount. Also will it fit my P180 / Asus P5B D. Though I'll do the lapping first. Any other tips are appreciated.

I'm really bummed with my temps. Seems like they are way higher than others are getting. Even with all stock setting on my P5B D/WF / E6700 / Zalman 9500 With stock bios (804) settings at IDLE SpeedFan reports CPU = 34c Core0 = 39c Core1 = 36c With two copies of prime95 running...
