mobo is Asus A8N-SLI so it has nVidia chip. I put a temp probe in there underneath the heatsink, next to the chip, so it should be pretty accurate. I have software monitoring too but afaik the onboard temp probe is on the board itself somewhere and doesn't reflect the temp of the chip. I don't know what it was beforehand, obviously, but when I put the temp probe in I had to take off the heatsink including the thermal sticker thing that's on it. I cleaned everything up nice and put AS5 on it to put it back on. The only thing is it has these lame plastic clips that hold it on so it was wobbly before I got it anchored. They may have just pushed around the AS5 a little but it seemed like it would be ok. I thought that would have improved things if anything but I have nothing to compare it too. Is there any info on this?
thanks in advance |
