different motherboard-> different cpu temperature?

[Bernd]

It might sound strange, but using a MSI turbo motherboard instead of a Gigabyte motherboard leads to extremely different temperatures (using the same other hardware) On the MSI motherboard the athlon 1.2 (100 MHZ) cpu became so hot, you 'd burn your hand touching it. Using the Gigabyte mobo, the heatsink felt warm, but not hot! both were compared when they were only in bios-setup

I do not understand why this happens, but it leaves us with no choice but choosing an other mainboardmanufacturer, because we get about 1 burned-dead cpu every week.

anyone able to test different motherboards to find out how much it differs?
