I have MSI K7T Turbo (KT133A) and T/B 900 installed in Fong Kai 603 case.
In BIOS health monitor shows CPU temp is
60 C after 10 min of idle (Not full load) and inside case temp 40 C .
Front Intake fan and exhaust fan right above CPU fan
and Coolermaster HSF are running. I think these are extremely high. I really suspect these numbers are not right.
So I installed MBM 5.05 and it says CPU temp is 32 C and inside case is 24 C in idle.
Which is right numbers I can trust?.
I actually touched HS with my finger. It's hot but not untouchable.

P.S. I also adjust VCore but BIOS shows 1.85V no matter how much I changed.:confused:

Trust your bios. What I did is that mbm4 was telling me that my temps were at 10c. So I went into bios to see and it was reading like 35c. SO i downloaded mbm5, and it was right. Just go into bios, and if the temp is similar to your reading from mbm, then it is right.

I dont' know for sure, but those are very "warm" readings for the often "under-reading" mSI Board. I would get both better case cooling and a better heatsink.

Your case temp is too high. You have 20C increase on your CPU temp. It will be much easier to solve your problem by lowering your case temp than buying expensive CPU fan.
