As you guys know I'm new to this AMD environment. I am kinda been spoiled with the less heat producing Intel CPU's. But since the performance and $$ is advantageously leaning towards AMD...To make a long story short, I don't own stock in Intel!
Anyway, I installed my new T-bird last weekend, 1.2GHz AXIA with MC-370-OA cooling her that is assisted by a Delta Black Label fan. (all bought from Crazy PC, which BTW, pissed me off since they mailed my Shim in 5 pieces!) In idle the ASUS Monitoring Utility from my A7V133 reports a temp of 50 C. Being an American I did the conversion and this is quite shocking! Doe they run this hot? No overclock, only thing I can think of is that maybe the fact that it is summer with an average temp of 97-100 F maybe overheating this puppy? I get similar readings when we in the bay area was blessed with a low pressur esystem and the ambient was around 78 F. I checked if the CPU core was making contact with the HSF and it is...anything else to check? Thanks a million.
