ECS C19-A owners...

I just bought this board, it's great for the price I paid, but it's definitely not top of the line.
Two things annoy me though that is pushing me to either exchange this board or return entirely.

First off my CPU Temperature read out in BIOS is showing me what I believe is my North Bridge tempature... My System Temperature in BIOS is showing me my CPU Tempature... So the two are reversed it seems.

My CPU temperature is @ 34C idle with intel stock fan.
My north bridge is @ 60C idle...
For the south bridge, if it's true if the north bridge is 60C, the south bridge is definitely hotter. I would say probably about 5C more so.


Is your board the same as mine (temperatures are reversed)? Is your north bridge running as hot as mine?

With an NVidia chipset, that result is hardly surprising - and correct. These chipsets consume LOTS of power, and run very hot.

Well I've built 3 DFI nF4 Ultra lanparty machines but those are all nforce4 amd, but they were all fine, hot yea, but not this hot. More or less if they idle around 40C-50C, I don't worry, but 60C idle??

But just curious if other owners have the same BIOS issue and temperature... Because I won't exchange if this is throughout of this is just my board.
