I'm not an expert at cooling. I understand the basics, and know that a decent amount of fans at a balanced intake/outake level can bring your CPU temperature down. However, I'm baffled as to why my temperature increased from 43 C to 53 C when I upgraded my motherboard. That's 10 degrees Celsius...a little strange. I have plenty of fans (about 9, to be exact), with balanced intake/outake.

I upgraded from a cheap motherboard lying around (don't know the name, it was just around the house when my old one died) to a DFI NFII-400AL with the nForce2 chipset. However, I don't see why my CPU would increase that much. Hopefully it just is measuring the temperature elsewhere. I heard that some motherboards don't monitor the temperature on the core. Perhaps this one does, or maybe it adds to compensate for it? Can anyone shed some light on this?
