Re Voltage / CPU Temperature on A7N8X Deluxe v2

[Bitsbucket]

Oh one other thing, I have no cover on my case, so my fron inward blowing
fan and my 2 on the rear (blowing out) are probably wasted electricity at
this point. The power supply has one blowing in from the back, and the one
on the other side blowing out. It's an allied 450 watt from Newegg and I've
been VERY happy with it, lots of crap running on it, I have 3 optical and 3
Hard drives, 6 fans, (including the CPU and the 2 built into the pwr sup) 2
cold cathode tubes, I think that is about it....The Allieds are inexpensive
and that has made me worry a bit, however, people's posts at newegg have
nothing but good things to say about them, except for the few bum ones, and
everybody produces a lemon now and then......I just checked it's an allied
TRUE 450 as they call it, and it's 42 only 42 bucks.

Is MBM freeware, or shareware?
thanks

Then it's socket temp.


I use MBM5 to report temps (including CPU diode and hard drives) and fan
speeds.

Thats odd... usually they blow out at the back.

I reckon you should stick your side back on, have a fan at the front bottom,
one at the rear blowing out and make the PSU ones blow front front to back.

General route of air on the case is from front bottom to top back. Having a
fan lower down (somewhere around the video card) at tha back, blowing out,
can also be pretty useful.

The power supply, as a unit, pulls air in from the inside of the case, and
pushes it out the back of the case, it just uses 2 fans instead of one to
accomplish this task, one sucking in from the back of the supply (pulling
air from inside the case) and the fan on the other end is blowing out. (from
the inside of the pwr supp.) The second fan in inline with the first, not on
the bottom as allot of them are. Seems to work fairly well,

kinda a crappy drawing, but hopefully it shows what I mean............



I did install MBM and the diode temp is running at 40C idle, I have not run
it with seti yet,
Thanks for the info! (learn something new everyday)

Sounds good to me.

Hi Ben,
It's running no more than 48C to 49C under a full load (Seti) so I'm happy
(that is the CPU diode) I would like to get the same amount of cooling
WITHOUT the damn noise though.... any recommendations?
As I stated I had a "Dr. Thermal" which I liked allot, quiet, and kept
things cool, and may buy the newer version of that, but wondered what you
may have as a suggestion....
Thanks

Aero7+ is what I'm using, has a speed adjustable blower, the lite is
supposed to be as good.

If that's a Powmax power supply, you should change it. I had one that was
going squirrely on the 3.3V rail. Made my machine talk to me. "system
failed cpu test" New power supply cured it. (Antec Truepower 550)
