Hello Guys, been a while but I am now changing platforms and am in need of your opinions. As some of you are aware of the P5B deluxe has temperature issues as far as read out goes. As I type my cpu temps are 52c. while the system is 39c. I really want to get this thing kicking but I dont want to smoke it on the 1st night I have it. I have reseated the scythe ninja for a second time now, reapplied everything and so forth. still I am in the fifties. with no load. I did a quickand dirty raise to 400 fsb to see if i could get it to post and it was up with no issues, 3.2, like that with plenty to go, I am sure. The problem is the tempoerature went all the way up to 97c with in minutes. That just cant be right. can it?????????
I appreciate any help I can get. I have read all over the place about suspicions of temp reading issues but are there any facts to it. I have put a temp gun on it right down the middle of the ninja and it read or reads...38.5 This is with a laser thermometer. What do you guys think?

The P5B-D reports the wrong tempratures. Mine reads 50c idle and 72 under load even after I switched out the Intel stock cooler with a Thermalright XP90, and I can still overclock to 3Ghz and be Prime95 stable for 18 hours.

If the cores were really reaching 97C you'd be running at a snail's pace.

So I doubt it.

So is it safe to assume that your cpu is close to the systems temps?? or is that too broad of a statement??
I sure do have a lot to leard on this intel base. I ve been running amd the entire time, gotta get used to this bios set up, any good links for a quick and dirty guide with this bios?
