My idle CASE temperatures are displaying at 17* Celcius and the CPU is displaying at 32* Celcius.

My questions are:

If this Max 3 Board is indeed displaying approximately 10* Celcius higher then other boards with the same setups, that would place my actual CPU temperature at about 22* Celcius. Have other owners found this to be true?

What are the temperatures others are reading from their water cooled systems?

Im running an Aqua-Computer cooled system with Cuplex Evo 1.1 on the CPU and Twinplex 1.1 on the Northbridge. Eheim 1046 (12v version) flowing through 1/4" tubing and a Black Ice II radiator due to space restrictions.

What do you guys have?
 
32 c sounds right for a WCed comp.

It's the older IC7/Gs that report the higher temps. My 3.0 is at 3.6 with a temp of 42c idle, so it sounds that the problem has been resolved in the new Max 3.
 
Well, I dont believe that ABIT changed any of their CPU calculations. There was never a press release of anything about it that I have seen.
 
My Abit IC7-Max3 is almost exactly 10c higher than actual temperatures. Read the Abit forums and you will find almost everyone has noticed the same.
