ASUS A8N SLI mobo temp question

[kontrabass]

I'm a bit perplexed by my temp readouts:

CPU temp: 35 deg C
MOBO temp: 36 deg C (96 deg F, ambient temp is 72 F)

I have an antec P180 case with 4 120mm fans blowing (in front, out back). Where is the thermal sensor on the ASUS mobo, that it would be reading such a high temp?

you dont say whether or not it is deluxe (with the fan) or a premium (heat pipe), but I have an older intel based asus mb that runs the same way. the proc stays cooler than the mb. may just be an asus thing.

Seems normal to me as this also happens with my board. I don't know where the mobo-temp sensor is, but it is not IN the nForce. Maybe its near some capacitor or in the exhaust way of the graphics board...
Your idle temps more or less match mine (34C CPU and 36C board)....

My SLI Deluxe is 34 C for the CPU and 37C for the MB. The MB temp actually increased 2 degs. after I installed a 74GB Raptor, into the 2nd from the top slot, in my Tsunami Dream case.
