As everyone already knows, I have temp problems and don't want to send back the mobo because I don't think the mobo's the problem. I'm thinking of replacing the fans. I have a TT dream (and no, I can't get a new case right now, just bought it, another time). It has two 120mm fans and one side 90mm. My CPU has one of those newer 4 copper pipe heatsink/fans that AMD makes for the optys. At night, when it's cool, I get better temps: CPU in the high 20s low 30s and mobo in the mid to high 30s. But when the day rolls on, I get 41C for the mobo and high 30s for the cpu, and that's just leaving it on for the day. Some of it is the air flow and some of it is probably the accelero x2. What fans should I get? I was told the CPU fan is fine, is that true? Any suggestions. The two main fans run at 1350 rpms and the cpu fan maxes at around 3000. I want quiet but better, faster fans. I pretty much give up on this problem. There is too much flux in my pcprobeII readings. Sometimes the temps are low, and then I come back and hour later and their high again, then low again. BIOS temps read about 5C higher for the cpu but not for the mobo. I saw some people have the same case and their mobo is 22-25C! I wish!
