I got the Asus A7N8X Deluxe mobo with a barton 2500+ cpu today. I finished assembling it and started doing some testing on it to and comparing it to my old Abit KR7A w/ Xp1900+ (Palomino) the temps i'm getting now are about 13 degrees cooler than my old XP 1900. Case temps are the same at 29c i have my barton overclocked to 2080MHz vs my old XP running at stock speeds with temps of 53c. I know the bartons run cooler than the old XPs but I was expecting my OCed temps to be around 50.
