Hey all.
I recently replaced my Gigabyte motherboard due to all the problems it has with the Asus A8N-VM CSM.
For whatever reason my cpu now runs almost 10 degrees hotter than it did when I ran it on my gigabyte.
It idles now at around 44 degrees and goes up to 55 degrees on full load.
When I ran the Gigabyte It would idle at around 32 to 35 and would max out at around 48 or 49 degrees at full load.
I have the AMD X2 4400 with the ZALMAN CNPS7000B-Cu cooler.
I have cleaned the heatsink and chip twice with the Artic Silver kit and reapplied the artic silver thermal paste it and it still continues to run hotter than it did with the Gigabyte.
I checked the BIOS to make sure it isnt overclocking anything which it is not.
Any ideas?
