DFI 250 GB reports high temps?

[Ketchup]

I was just wondering what the consensus was on the temp monitoring of the DFI LanParty 250gb. I have vcore 1.6-1.65 and have a 90mm Sanyo Denki fan on the XP-90. It spins ~1800 RPM when the CPU is idle and 2600 or so at full load. My temps are 45 idle and 59 under load. This seems a little high to me. Is motherboard monitor telling the truth here? The BIOS is dated 8/27. Thanks for any input.

I think the bios reports a little high too. I have used speedfan and sisoft sandra and they both report lower temps than the bios does.

Yes, DFI acknowledges that some boards are reporting wrong temps. On my old K8N-E Deluxe I was getting 35C temps and on the DFI I was getting 50C at least using the same cooling system (Zalman 92mm all copper HSF thing and Arctic Silver 5). They said they would fix it in a future BIOS update, and there were some beta BIOSes that had it fixed. This was several weeks ago, so an official BIOS very likely has been released with the fix. Check out their main site. Do a search on this forum for this board and you'll find other threads with people having this problem. Better yet, check out their site and see if they have a new BIOS out yet.
