Alright. I was really curious how hot my system is running at idle and under a full load.
I was trying to use the Asus Probe program, but I didn't think it was giving me acurate results. So, I looked around and picked up an Asus iPanel Deluxe. It gives me temps that are much closer to what I think my system should be running at while I am playing games.
My theory on Asus Probe not working is b/c the system has a few seconds to cool down while I am exiting the game and the temps are dropping. I didn't think my system would only raise 3-4 degrees between idle and full load. With the iPanel it is telling me that I am 6-7 degrees hotter in the game then when surfing the net.
My problem is this:
Whatever I set the iPanel refresh timer to in the bios is how long I have between system glitches. Every 8, 16, or 32 seconds, my system will totally stop for a half second and then come back around. This gets really annoying in UT2k3. I have come to grips with it while I am playing Morrowind, but I don't get into many battles, so I think it will become more of an issue once I leave town to explore further.
Has anyone else used this combo or an iPanel in general on a different Asus mobo?
I want to stop this glitching from happening, but I don't want to disable the refresh because then I don't get accurate readings. Granted, I would enjoy the front USB ports (if I could hook them up), and the front audio jacks too.
