According to Logic Supply, there are variations in height during assembly of these boards. As I suggested in the review, the chipset and CPU should have separate coolers to make installation easier and more reliable.
Perhaps your height difference is a factor. I know mine isn't making the best contact possible, but the steel bolts have helped that through brute force alone.
Also... do you guys have modern BIOSes on your boards? My M10000 is up to date, and sadly VIA has decided to drop the temperature monitoring from the BIOS now. Other features (like functional VGA) made the BIOS update necessary, but I do miss the temp display.
For a secondary means of monitoring the heat... look for a download called Speed Fan. I like it, and it seems more reliable than Motherboard Monitor which doesn't work well with these boards. |
