Hi,
How's your NB temp? Mine running quite hot (on Jetway A210GDMS). Bios reports something at high 50s and get into high 60s when loaded. It is passively cooled though.
Should I be worried? Doesn't seem to have any stability issue though. Slightly overlocked (A64 3200+ @ 2.2GHz).
BTW, how can I read the NB temp in Windows? The included monitor program (MyGuard) doesn't report it.
 
I am pretty suer every rs480 board has extremly inaccurate temperature sensors. I have a Zalman 7000 AlCu, and my cpu is reportedly in the low 50s idle, and in the ~70s load, which is insanley far off from the real temps (Im using Artic Silver, and im sure I put it on correctly). Same with the NB sensor aswell.
 
I believe it's up to the board MFG too.
Mine reports CPU at around 45-46 loaded (3200+ @ 2.2GHz). If running at 1.1GHz, it reports low 30s for CPU.
