sending this thing back i guess

[jack bauer]

i'm sending it back. i have a feeling though, the heat issues are not from the mobo. i'll tell you why. when I add or subtract a HD, add a sound card, switchsomething, I get different heat issues. this sounds to me to be a voltage or PSU problem. i have a seasonic s12 500W, and i know these are good units, so i'm not toally sure on that because i don't know how to test the psu is faulty or not. second, could be the cpu. i reapplied the thermal paste and got 8C+ mobo temps difference? that doesn't make since. if I get my mobo back and still have the problems, guess I will then know it is something else. i only wish I could rule out the power supply and cpu, but not sure how. alas...

i hope sending it back is worth the trouble



ps thanks for all the continuing help, and see other posts for backround info.

You need to clarify what this post is about, cause i really don't follow.

Dude, don't send it back. Send it to me, you can have my perfect A8N-SLI Premium + cash in trade.

we'll see

edit: not sending mobo back. after a few fan tests, think it is a mix of air flow issues and room temps, keep ya posted
