hot?

Offhand, I would say that 70*C is approaching a critical overheat temperature for a CPU.

I can't be sure of this as I use AMD and watercooling, but a CPU at 70 degrees would really have me worried. I'd look immediately at my heat-sink to ensure that it is fitted properly and making full contact with the CPU, via a suitable layer of thermal paste. Obviously I would check to see that the fan(s) worked properly too.

Are you sure you are reading the BIOS temps correctly? Is there a real-time temperature monitor included with the motherboard software?

Unless an Intel expert shows up and says 70 degrees is, er, cool for these processors, I'd be taking urgent steps to find out what's going on.

70 *C is way to much. check that u have fitted your CPU cooler in the right way. sometimes can get stuck @ surrounding plastic and not sitting on the CPU how it should. another thing could be that the showing temp is wrong but not likely. At least not that much.

In any case do not run it for more that few minutes at a time till u fix the prob. If the proc (i know this was a fact on earlier Intel processors) is really overheating the proc will shut down the computer. But i would not bet my money on it.

What he said - While it's one thing for a GPU to get to that temperature, there's no way the CPU should be that hot.

Couple of questions;

Are you using the stock cooler?

Have you removed the tape from the underside of the heatsink and then cleaned both the top of the processor and the heatsink using a suitable cleaner (I use a specialist one, but anything alcohol based should be OK)?

Have you applied a thin layer of thermal compound (the thinner the better)?

Have you checked fans, seating of heatsinks etc?

There are a number of Hardware monitoring programs out there. I use CPUID Hardware Monitor which is free and will report core, GPU and HDD temps plus fan speeds and a number of other things I don't understand

if it is a windows than u have to use a floppy that should be supplied with motherboard or upgrade your windows xp installation disk to sp3. both methods one are not to simple. vista should recognize it from start.

Indeed. Although these days, the mainboards tend to arrive with a floppy disk image for the SATA drivers on the driver CD so you can create your own - joy.

What OS are you planning to use m8, and what Service Pack revision is it?

[well It needs a op system first. Rog is getting the noob 2008 install directions then we will see

Hmm, I'll be interested to see those myself, might as well have the entire product range run on here!

They are here Nick:

I'll be adding the tweaking guide over the weekend.
