Well.. I just finished hooking up a Dell XPS/Inspiron 9100 laptop fan (the one that cools the chipset and the part of the CPU heatsink that goes directly over the CPU) and a home-made shroud to cool the PWM heatsinks on my AN8-Ultra.
Now under max load in Orthos... according to ABIT EQ (uGuru), the PWM temp is only getting to 55c max.
Before this, I could reboot and go into BIOS and the temp would still be dropping from 59c.
Not sure exactly how how it was getting before, but it is a LOT cooler now.
Also.. according to uGuru, my vdroop is 0... at idle it reads 1.69v... once Orthos loads the CPU, it goes to 1.70v and stays there
