okay i just got my refurb bg7 from newegg and i'm having some problems. first off, i noticed that the mobo might be reporting my cpu temps incorrectly. its reporting from 65-75C, which i think is a bit high. i had a 8srx and the temp sensor was broken on that, but i ran my 1.6a overclocked to 2.2 fine. so i'm thinking if the temp was really 75C, i would not be able to run stable at 2.2. Anonther thing is that i just ran 3dmark2k1, and i got a paltry 4300. i have a 1.6a and a geforce3 ti200. i looked at the orb and i think my results should be atleast 5000-6000.

anyone know what might be the problem? did i forget to install some kind of agp driver? when i go into the little properties screen, i see that for bus, it says AGP (PCI MODE), is that correct?
