OK, its a known issue that the P4E Prescott core runs very hot! The sample I had before ran around 45'c at idle and over 55'c under load.
This one runs at 32'c idle and 33~34'c under load.........at least that's what MBM5 sez. BIOS reads 27'c (while the MB reads 28'c).
I have the latest BIOS installed (v3.6 dated 10/28/04), that is supposed to correct the "incorrect" diode readings.
Memtest shows no errors on my Cosair Cl 2 PC3200 DDR (2x 512meg dual channel))
This is with a Spark 7 cooler/Artic Silver 5.
Now, when I try to play ANY games, after a few minutes (10~20) it freezes up, forcing a reboot.
WTF?????
