Went over everything again. Reseated everything and added a better fan the HS. Was using a 15CFM 60mm above now have a 38CFM on there.

Here is what I got: (24C room temp)
XP1600+ 1400mhz 1.75V bone stock ECS K7S5A.

Bios Idle:
Onboard 39C
TC 49C

WinME Idle:
Onboard 39C
TC 49C

Running SETI:
Onboard 41C
TC 53C

XP1600+ 1540mhz 146FSB 1.75V Using SetFSB (http://www.vector.co.jp/soft/win95/h.../se239139.html) in Windows.
Onboard 43C
TC 57C

I have to lean towards the TC. As you can see there was only a 2C jump from idle to load from the onboard. Certainly not what I would have expected. But the TC shows a 4C gain which is more realistic with a SETI load. I think the onboard probe is calibrated wrong. Seems the higher the temps get on the TC the less they jump on the onboard by a consistant 2C. I am not to sure what to think about this right now.... Will be trying this on my Abit KD7 when it arrives later next week and will see what happens with it.
