Looks like there is no longer any question (there wasn't for me a while ago) that the IC7 boards are reporting temps that are ACTUALLY 10+ C higher than a probe placed above the cpu center. This thread is very enlightening.

Abit admitting they were running high was good enough conclusion for me lol.

Good thing now I don't have to worry about my 44C temps.

Do you know if this same phenomenon goes on with IS7 boards?

damn, my friend has a p4 2.4C on an IC7 with a swiftec MXC-4000 w/SFII and he gets like 35C load.... he must really be getting in the 20's

thats a little extreme there

well, his room is really cold all the time, and he has 2 side intakes as well as 2 fronts and 2 backs, and his SFII is on max speed all the time.
I gotta o/c his system sometime..

So, is it bad that i'm idling at about 5C on my IC7? /shrug
guess it stays cool..
