    Infuriating motherboard/PSU problem

    Had a PSU failure recently (exploded). I RMA'ed it (enermax noisetaker 600w) and got a new Noisetaker II. I hooked it up and it wouldn't fully power up my motherboard (DFI Lanparty NF4 SLI-DR). Got standby LEDs, but hitting the power switch would only make it power up for a split second. The new...

    Motherboard temperature on DFI NF4 in Atec P180

    Check out these temps... this is after idling for about 15 minutes, with an athlon 3700 at default settings, stock cooler etc. Generally the temps are great, but I'm curious why the motherboard temperature is higher than the CPU. During normal usage the CPU is about 32 degrees and the MB temp...
