The temps are from mbm. You cant get load temps in bios. lol.

As far as the crash goes. It was from a criticool pci relay for my pump. It shorted (i think) or was dammaged in some way so that it put 120volts into the pc bus killing the mobo and video card. the video card seems to run off of the same 3.3v power rail.

but the mobo itself is great. It has tons of features and is just overal a great board. But i have to tell you that i like the abit better. For overclocking it beats the he!! out of hte asus. The features for ocing are just insane on this mobo. The a7n8x wasnt ever designed to be an overclocker. Atleast not from what i got from it. Even though i did absolutely lover my a7n8x till the day it died, the abit beats it hands down. The only annoying part is that you get only 2 usb on the back panel. and 4 if u install hte pci braket. The asus u can have 6 in the back. Actually though I think i have my asus pci bracket for the usb still. I can install that andget the other 2 usb that abit decided to have setup for the front . But anyway, like i said the abit ending up being a better board for me.
