Hello,
New to the forums here but would like to stick around a while
Just did the Big Deal from Intel and got the I7-940 and the DX58SO motherboard - I managed to get everything together today and am currently looking at the intel desktop center screen with my temps really unsetlling.
At idle (15% ish load, stock clock speed),it says i'm running at 72C CPU and about 48C motherboard. I took the side of my case off (a large thermaltake solid steel ATX with 3 or 4 fans - a loaner until my Antex 900 is ordered) and there feels likes theres no heat - I would imagine if the motheboard is around 48C the air coming out of the case would have to be pretty warm too, no?
I have a new heatsink that will be here tomorrow, but I'm wondering if the temps thrown off by the intel center are A) completely wrong or B)theres a bad sensor somewhere or C)?.
Any and all help would be appreciated.
