I just installed my new i7 930 cpu and while everything works fine, it has some very high temps.

this pic is from idle and no OC.

What's even more weird is that the motherboard (PT6 SE) is almost at 60c idle!

What could be wrong? btw motherboard says that Power fan is N/A, I dont even know what a power fan is. Right now I have CPU fan, GPU fan and PSU fan spinning in my chassi. Still, the CPU and Motherboard temp seems way to high.

From what I've understood from other people, the Asus tool is not reliable for temperature monitoring. For your processor, use RealTemp or CoreTemp. That said, if these tools show that your processor is indeed around 60°C idle, that's pretty high. Depending on your ambient temperature, it should be around 30-40°C idle. Maximum temperature is important too, and that can be measured with a one hour Linpack run. Maximum temperature should be lower than 80°C ideally.

And I believe the power fan header is for certain power supplies that allow for the internal fan to be monitored. If your power supply doesn't support that, it's normal to have no fan attached to that.

+1 for trying realtemp or hwmonitor is another good one. There's something wrong with those temps and that vcore. It can't be .94v even at at stock speeds I don't think.

Just curious, but what did your temps end up at? And what was the vcore?

I am tempted to get 12 gig ram as well. Will 6-->12 be a big difference for windows 2008 server?
