Also, any ideas what's up with my p4 Temps? |
The BI rads ARE heatercores... they are just small and a bit restrictive. It is all about surface area, but for their size, the BI's do OK. If you have the space for a single pass heater core, that would be ideal but they are like 10" x 6" or so. If not, look into a chevette core which are 6" x 6". Regarding your temps, I would gather your mobo reads the on-die sensor in the CPU which is why it reports higher than most boards which read the insocket thermistor. 51C is fine for air, in fact, when I was on air with this CPU and board (before my WB adapter got here), my load temps were 61C
