    On my A7V133 PC Probe displays 10 C. higher than the BIOS. So I dont know if my Tbird-900 is running at 40 or 50 C. !!! (the 50 C stated by Probe made me invest in a Silverado Cooler, but my Tbird is still very hot I think) Somewhere I read that a problem with newer ASUS BIOS versions makes...

    ASUS A7V133, or ASUS A7M266, or ASUS A7A266 Motherboards?
