OK i have a 1240 athlon(dtek sidewinder 1/2" id and the sox tab extreme pressure mounting bracket tightened over installation instructions) and a gainward geforce3(dd geforce cooler 1/2" id) watercooled by a heatercore (dtek) and a 1250 eheim. The ambient is around 25-27 c this time of year. My water temp is around 29 c. The cpu temp according to a flat thermistor touching the side of core is around 33 c full load. The mother board is an a7a266 and its thermistor reads 53 c. Before watercooling it read 60-65 c from the motherboard sensor. I always thought it read high but have really no way of verifying any of these temps against others because i have only the compunurse switch thermistor deal I built(allows me to read 6 temps with one led readout). I just started reading the Geforce3 temps on the back of the core with a flat thermistor taped to it. It reads 49 c. My question is what is up with my temps? I will post some pics soon to show you what i mean but i though i would get the ball rolling..

BTW i use as2 and use their application instructions. I have 1/2" id 3/4"od silocone hoses and 2 inline thermistors....
