Hi Folks,
First time poster - so please be kind :)
Just upgraded from an XP1600+ to a XP2100+ and temperatures are jumped quite a bit.
Was seeing ~ 51C-53C idle with the XP1600+ and a Volcano 6CU. Am now seeing 61C-63C with the XP2100+ / retail HSF with thermal tape.
I've read (but have yet to find definitive info) that the ASUS boards read 'hot' - but how hot ? I moved the XP1600+/Volcano to an ECS board and it's currently idling @ ~ 43C.
Are these temps reasonable ? Any guides to what ASUS is reading (+X degrees C) ? System reaches 68-70 under load - but has never been unstable.
TIA,
Greg.
