I have a Tyan K8E with a X2 4400+. From day one, the CPU temps have been high: idle temp has been 43° and the load temp was just scary (let's just say that I've seen 62°+). I tried AS5. I tried the new 4 pipe HSF from AMD. I tried swapping the 80mm fan for a 92mm. Nothing helped. With summer coming on and the ambient temps on the rise, I was a little spooked. Cruised by Tyan's site this morning and found a BIOS update that included, "Adjust CPU temperature reporting"
I'll say. Idle is now 33°. I'm ready for summer.
