both same windows xp same drivers
both same setting in the bios
iam useing corsair PC3200C2 and he useing corsair PC3500pro

do you think my ram cusing the heat problem ?
:(
 
A shot in the dark but another thread mentions a thin removable film protector on the two chipset heatsinks and should be removed. It's only there to protect the emblems. :p My two A8N32s didn't have them but others reported remvoing them dropped the temps down a tad. Check to see if your mobo chipset HS's might have the thin clear protection film.

well I noticed a Idle Temperature differance pending on how warm my room is. Like since november or so, i noticed when my room heats up in the afternoon from the sun becasue my window faces the sun when it sets and i noticed my prossor go up a couple of degrees. And also Im told dust in heat sinks = bad.

how can i remove them ?
 
thanks i will try when get back home, but i dont need to remove the mobo or the heatsinks to reach the protector wright ??
 
let me know how that goes, I have a feeling that the thermal sensor is doing that whole heatpipe so high temps are unavoidable, my mb temp always seems to be within 2 C of my CPU (at idle) (46C vs 48C)

If it works maybe i'll have to check on those little stickers :p

nope.. ;)
 
not sure if the stickers themselves will do a whole lotta good.
the actual metal top with the asus logo comes off. i will be doing this hopefully by the weekend and put as5 on the heatpipe.
i'll post results and pics when im done

i remove the heatsink and apply AS5 now my temp is 40-41 idle :D

Thank you all guys for the help
