Are you blind? It has one loop thats it, and the wire isn't tucked away because im replacing the heatsink in a couple days anyway

So which program is accurate, Real Temp gives a different temp then every other one and from what I hear that is the correct one.

Nope no joke, this is my first build and and I don't know what temps are right yet. So real temp is the actually tells the right temperature and all of the others don't?

This is my first build ever and I am a bit worried that my motherboard and CPU are running too hot. I have read many different articles saying that the E8400 does not give out the right temperatures. I have downloaded a bunch of the programs that everyone talks about here to read the...

It took you two months to come up with that list...you have got to be kidding me, isn't even that good of a list.

I was thinking of trying my luck with a Noctua NC-U6...has anyone had luck with this chipset cooler?

The motherboard idles at 40C now that I put a fan on it but maxes out at 55C under load while playing games. My E8400 idles at 45C and maxes at 65C but I already ordered a Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro to fix that problem, right now I am using the stock heatsink and fan that came with the chip...

Yes, I attached that fan but it only brings the motherboard temps down to 40C on idle.

I just ordered that cooler last night, is there anything that I can do about cooling the northbridge...any good replacement heatsinks or anything?

My cpu is the E8400 and nothing is overclocked or changed from stock...its running at 3.0

I need to cool my Asus P5N-D northbridge, it runs way too hot but don't know what type of cooler would be best to replace the stock heatsink and fan. Any suggestions?

How hot should my CPU and motherboard get? My CPU goes up to 65C when playing a game and the motherboard goes to about 55C.

I am using the Asus Probe II software that came with the motherboard.

I just completed a build with the Asus P5N-D Motherboard, E8400, 4 gigs ram and an 8800GT all inside a Cooler Master 690. On idle the cpu is running at 45C and the motherboard is also running at 45C. I think that this is a little high and would like to cool it down a bit. An optional fan came...

Yes I tried a barebones setup and had the same results.
