Im running an athalon xp 2000+ 1.67ghz, fitted into the architecture of the a7n8x deluxe (does anybody else curse at the bloody capacitors below the socket A?) ive got two case fans, one at the bottom bringing cold air in, one at the top blowing hot air out, and a tt volcano and all copper heatsink cooling down my cpu die, strangely my fan is best suited taking air from my cpu i.e. not blowing cold air onto it, none the less temp specs are -
idle
----
mobo -27
cpu- 47
load
----
mobo -30 (as a consequence of having the fan blowing the cpu hot air into the case)
cpu-48-50(rarely goes into 50s)
if you want to load your cpu and test its efficiency under the strains and test its heat dicipation capabilities do google for an app called "hot cpu tester pro" then crack it via usual channels
now, my a7n8x deluxe is a recent upgrade, on account of frying my previous board, i posted here about overheating issues and it must have been a faulty board, it was the A7v333 my mobo idle was 35, and my cpu was 58-60, under loads ive seen mobo go to 37 and cpu to 66, pretty nasty, im very pleased with the new temps ive achieved with this upgrade, post your temp recordings and tell us what upgrades were good for heat dicipation, and any strange goings on like my cpu fan working better in the opposing direction to normal use
