Default CPU temps down...

well my CPU temps where in the mid 60's a while back, I installed a thermalright 900a and 80mm fan and they dropped only 5* to high 50's low 60's. I just took the panel off the pc and it's now running at 52*C....:thinking: Guess I need more circulation in the case. I have 3 80mm fans in the case, but I guess they're not doing their job.

MB is 32*C

do you have another thermal sensor?

I have these little small thermal sensors connected to a LCD that gives read out of temp in real time.

I got them free from some show thingy.

They were close to the MB temp sensors. only off by a few degrees in F.

yeh, arent those battery operated? i thought about getting one but i didnt wanna have to keep replacing batteries. if you wanna put out more money you can get a system monitor thingy that takes up a 5.25" bay.. some have a LOT of functions. my intel monitoring software works just fine for me.
