In our hot Florida home, room temps are kept at around 80 degrees
with the AC cranking.

System motherboard temp is 39c
At idle and light load, CPU is around 52c.
Under extreme load, CPU temp rises to around 58c.
Only 6 degrees from min to max?

In previous motherboard, Abit KT7A,
CPU idle was around 40c, while 43c under light load,
and under heavy load it went up to 57c.
14 to 17 degrees change in old board.

Abit had a temp sensor under CPU, that actually touched
the bottom center of CPU. I didn't see ANY temp sensors
on the Epox board?

I am a little concerned that the Epox board is not reading
temperatures very acurately
