Well, i'm currently running a 1700+XP TBredB @ 2.1Ghz (10.5X200) @ 1.625 (but the BIOS overvolts up to 0.6volts) and my question is, according to my MBM5, it has 3 temps and they are 50, 60, and 45. I'm running a MSI k7N2-L and so i know 40 is the chipset, but the 50 kinda hops up and down (is that the on-board diode?) and the 60 just kinda sits at well, 60. So i konw people keep asking this, but i guess i'm really asking K7N2-L users, is 45 really hot for the chip and 50 (i'll assume it's the on-board diode) really hot? If i feel my heatsink (which is a Volcano 7 with a TMD mounted on it, cools great btw =)) the heatsink gets pretty hot, not as hot as my TBird 1.4 @ 1.6 and 1.85 volts, but hot none-theless, it was much cooler at 1.55 volts and 2.00 ghz. Guess my question is it too hot? It seems to be stable (been priming for about hmm.... 2 hours?)
Edit: Oops.. forgot to ask, i was wondering if i wanted to replace my VOlcano 7 w/ TMD fan, what should i replace it with? I'm thinking i might get a Volcano 11 and put my TMD fan on it, or can i use a SLK 800 with a TMD? I guess i like the noise level on my TMD, so not really looking to replace it, but want to know whether it'd mount on a SLK 800.
