[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 11081"] Hello all... normally I would go to a specialist forum on processors and motherboards for this, but since there's an abundance of smart people here I thought I might check first. I bought a boxed 3ghz Athlon64 with AMD approved heatsink and fan. No problems for two weeks until yesterday. Case is running at 34 deg C. when just hanging out in the BIOS and monitoring socket temp, it's at about 51 deg C., but after WinXP boots, SmartGuardian and MBM report socket temperature up to 70 or 71 deg C, even with CPU usage at <20%. i tried, uh, "manually verifying" the temp by just touching the heatsink, which felt quite normal and room temperature to touch. the airflow situation is good: side intake fan, rear outtake and chassis fan. cables are nice and secured to avoid blocking flow. can anyone imagine any cabling issues or MB malfunctions that might cause this? any known issues with AMD fan/heatsinks? oh... and i am NOT trying any overclocking or such. thanks!
