Cooling Issues

[tuffgong]

I just installed an Athlon 64 2800 on a Gigabyte CPU...Bios reports the temp idling from about 29-40 degrees celcius...Speedfan and Motherboard Monitor say 127 degrees celcius...furthermore, all of the PSU voltages are off by several whole numbers.

what the heck did i do wrong? I'm not turning that thing on till i know what the problem is.

Mbm is discontinued, so chances are it doesn't support your mainboard, which is why your temps are way off. The last version of mbm had an auto calibration feature. You just select your board from a long list, and it should calibrate it correctly. I would trust your bios reading. If it were really 127 celcius, your cpu would be fried by now. Your board should have a shutdown setting in the bios. Be sure to use it.

OK looks like its idling in the 30's now...all the + voltages seem fine, but the - voltages are off:

for example...-12v is showing -4, -5 at -1.4

what's the deal?
