I just installed an Asus A8N32 motherboard. Everything went smoothly so far EXCEPT when I looked at the BIOS readings for the motherboard temperature,. The CPU temperature and motherboard temperatures post in BIOS as 46-47 degrees celsius each. On the old board the CPU temperature would post as 30 degrees celsius and get up to 38 or 39 if I've been gaming a while... which is about 15 degrees cooler.
It does not seem to be blowing out hot air from the back of the case, and I do have a lot of space in there and a lot of fans - not the best fans or anything but they should be sufficient. The thing is the only one that plugs into the motherboard is the CPU fan where the other three plug straight into the power supply so the motherboard doesn't know anything about them.
So what I was wondering is does the A8N32 have a thermometer onboard or does it try to "guess" the temperature by your number of fans, fan speeds, system speed, power used etc? Anyone have any idea? That would explain everything...
I will have to test the USB2 out to see if that works soon as well.
My system specs:
CPU: AMD Athlon64 X2 4800+
Motherboard: Asus A8N32 Deluxe
Video: 2xBFG 7800gtx SLI
Sound: Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeMusic
RAM: Corsair XMS 3500LL Pro
Power supply: Ultra X2 X-onnect 550 watt
I'm not overclocking anything.
Thanks in advance.
