    What makes my a7v run at 35degc?

    I have a duron o/ced as in sig and it runs pretty warm(near 50c full load) but the msi runs at 25c. My non oc'ed tbird 800 is about 55c but the a7v(rev1.02) runs at a steaming 35c, in room temp of 20c. How hot are your mobo's running and will it have a significant effect on cpu temp and stability?
