How many times am i going to have to see this crap about AS. It's been
proven to be BS many times over. AS5 will work no more than 1-2C better
than any other decent compound. And probably no better than my $.001 a pop
wheel bearing grease. Speaking of whichg i haven't updated in months. Come
Sept. 1 it will be 1 year since proving this crap to people. that's when I
removed my old "real" HS compound and used some 30 year old wheel bearing
grease I found in the garage. A couple of days after installing it temps
where actually 1C lower than prior. So how's it doing now, over 10 month
later. You be the judge. Ambient temp is 25C.

Your motherboard is even hotter than the CPU? Not likely. You really
messed something up.

I really think you will find that Wes is a bona fide expert, rest
assured of that. He doesn't have to argue and spends his time helping a
lot of people. I might not use axle grease either, but that's not the
point. The *average* temp of the MB can indeed be higher than CPU. Not
for me, maybe not for you, maybe not often, but if the CPU cooling and
airflow really works, why the hell not? The HIGH temps are 20 degrees
apart and the table appears perfectly logical to me.

best, Ian.

When people are ignorant they should just keep their fingers idle so as
not to prove it to the world. The above temps are correct. the MB sensor
is at the back in between the bottom 2 pci slots. I've got 4HDTV tuner
cards in the bottom 4 slots and an ide raid card in the top slot next to
the video card filling up every slot on the MB. In case you don't know it,
which I'm sure is true, tuner cards produce more heat than any other PCI
card you'll ever plug in to a PCI slot. Now go see if you messed your
pants.

You fool, I'm not wearing any pants :^)

Don't waste your breath! ;-)

What I'm suffering from mostly at the moment is ambient temperature,
which has been in the 30s with little moving air. I think we sometimes
overlook that you need to try to make the PCs surroundings suitable,
rather than solely concentrating on the innards. I just get
disappointed when it's actually cold (to the hand) inside the case and
the CPU hits 54. I do have a tuner etc, lots of PCI. I haev no idea
where the sensor is though on my mobo. Anyway, a the moment I don't
think my system has heat related issues. Cheers!
