I'm experiencing some CPU temperature oddities with my Tbird 750 (non-overclocked) / Asus A7V board / Titan chrome orb fan (see bottom for full configuration). Idling with an open case, the BIOS reports a CPU temperature of 53 degrees Celsius with a 33 degrees mobo and the fan at 10000 rpm (add 6 degrees celsius with closed case).
When I first installed Asus probe I got a "The CPU setting is not provided by the CPU. The CPU setting is the result of your jumper settings see CPU type for actual CPU information" message even though I was in jumperless mode.
At one point I got a nice Win 98 blue screen when trying to burn a CD-RW and Win simply won't run anymore (it crashes when trying to access user.exe). I took the whole unit back to the shop and they tried changing just about everything in font of me : new CPU, new fan, new Asus mobo without a change. When they tried a MSI mobo, the reading came down to 43 degrees and 33 degrees respectively. In both cases the CPU appeared to be the same temp to the touch.
Has anybody experienced similar problems ? If so, is the cause of the high temperature reading simply a BIOS issue or does it really overheat ?
TIA,
