Just to let you know

[Cheese]

I got my new board up and running today so thanks for all the help and encouragement that people gave me.

My failed hardrive I used to install XP and it worked perfectly, go figure.

Now I've just got to sort these high temps out. <Imagine a laughing smilie here>

I can only get one temp monitor to work with this board and chip (the one provided by Abit) I can't get Speedfan to recognize the board or chip.:(

It says it's (the cpu) at 30C idle but I wouldn't mind some verification on that. MBM5 just fecked up everything when I installed that (said the temps were 60 and then so did the abit temp monitor).

In BIOS it says 30C as well...just want to be sure...

in mbm5 u may have to change some of the sensors around. it may be reading the wrong ones.

could also be that the bios reads the socket temp and mbm5 reads the on-die temp?

i think you just need us ;)

Cheese...what Abit board do you have?
I know that on the NF7-S, Abit reserves access to the on-die sensor exclusively to it's "shutdown temperature" feature in the BIOS...no other monitoring program is allowed to read it.
Thus, your BIOS temp and all other apps (MBM5 and SpeedFan included) are actually originating from the socket thermistor- a not altogether satisfactory solution, IMO.

This is my temp reading thingy:

It's from Abit Guru...

OK.
Download MBM5 and install it.
When it is configured ( hopefully your board is in the Wizard list which simplifies things...), see what sensor it has set to read the CPU temp.
If it isn't "winbondxxxxxxxxxx" ( don't recall the exact number offhand) then you are NOT getting the data directly from the CPU, rather, the socket thermistor.

Now don't that just frost your cookies?

My board isn't listed on the wizard for MBM5. :(

I reinstalled Abit guru and now it's reading the cpu temp as 64C! Bios is reading it at 35C.

I've touched the heat sink and it's barely warm, I applied some silver thermal compound anyhow, and when I did that nothing seemed overly warm.
