A7N8X MB/CPU temperature

[Stephen SM WONG]

What are the temperature readings on your A7N8X?

I've a fully loaded Athlon 2600+ (Barton) on a A7N8X-VM,
temperature readings are:
CPU: 55C, MB: 43C

Normal? Anything to worry?

CPU Heat Sink is original AMD copper/aluminum HSF.

Is that CPU temp the socket temp or the diode temp?

It's probably ok, but you really need to the diode temp tp be sure.

MB temp seems a little bit high

How to know whether socket temp or diode temp is read?

The reading is taken from BIOS, right after a long time
(>24 hours) fully loaded condition, and reboot into the
BIOS.

The BIOS reports the Socket Temperature. You need something like
Mother Board Monitor (http://mbm.livewiredev.com/) to be able to read
the Diode Temp.

You temp of 55C (which is the socket) is a little high. The diode temp
will probably be 65 - 70C.

Also the MB temp of 43C is a little high. Obviously it depends on your
room temp.

With a room temp of 21C I would expect the MB temp to be 25 - 27C.

I think you need to address your case cooling in order to reduce all
your temps.

Using Asus Probe (both at idle):

CPU = 34C
Mobo = 25C

This is for an overclocked mobile Barton 2500 (180 x 12.5) with 1.6Vcore;
artic silver, standard HSF and side panel removed.

Impossible to tell, as you don't provide a room temp reading.
However, 43C seems high for the case temp. My case temps stay within 5C of
room temp, and I consider any greater differential as a sign of inadequate
case airflow. You case/CPU temp differential is OK.
What happens to the temps if you remove the case side and blow cool air into
your case?
If you see a marked decrease, that's a sure sign you need better case
ventilation.
