Soltek SL-K8NA2E-GR Temp question.

[Nomad692000]

The Soltek hardware monitoring says my CPU Temp is 45 on idle and it has never gone above 48 C after 2 or 3 hours of hard DOOMing it. RT is 24 idle and 25 after the same period of time. Im useing a Venus 12 and I have varried the fan speed from 1/2 way to full tornado with only a degree of difference. I've reinstalled the HSF twice after 1.5 weeks, trying to give it time to cure and see. I flashed to the Bios that was posted here and they worked good, thank you, but the temp didnt change. Im using a Vantec Nexus 101 with the probe atached to the side of the CPU between the ZIF ledge (its not pinched between the HSF and the CPU) and it reads 29.8 idle and 32.9 after the DOOMing period. My GPU temp is with in 2 degrees on the Nexus and the monitoring software. My question is this a bios thing and which do you think is the closest. And when in the Heck is Soltek going to deliever some new Bios. And I've gotten the Text corruption in the Bios also, about 2 times. I love the board and got it off of your alls advice. Thanx in advance

I have the same motherboard and am using the ZALMAN CNPS7000A-Cu as my heatsink. The Soltek hardware monitor says I idle at 49 or 50. I have put some arctic silver 5 on it and it doesn't seem to be going down. So I ended up just forgetting about it, since it seems to be running really stable.

Mine runs 48 idle, 50 load with a SLK-948U and Panaflo 92mm H1A. I don't think there's any 754 board reporting the correct temperature.

Thanx guys, I've been splitting the difference between the software and the probe for a ruff estamate. Thanx alot.
