Hi,
I just assembled my new computer including an ABIT KT7-RAID mainboard, a Thunderbird 800, and a Chrome Orb for socket A/462. The thermal sensor is on the mainboard beneath the CPU socket.
The wierd thing is that temperature rises up to lower 90s (in degrees Centigrades) and usually stays around mid 80s. With no heavy load at all. And the measurements are taken from the BIOS screen.
Placing Chrome Orb on this CPU/MB combination was already a bad experience (capacitors block heat sink, Orb does not fit properly on the core and needs too much pressure to stabilize).
Any suggestions or ideas to illuminate this situation, and what may be going wrong?
---------------
The mainboard itself has many other bugs... don't even want to talk about them...
