System Temp and Voltages....

[Sonnyb72]

Hi, I've been using my assembled machine now for 2-3 months and except for
some irritating fan "whine" when the machine cold starts but disapperas in a
few minutes. Anyways I've never given much thought to the system temps and
voltages, but seeing all the posts about it, I was wondering if the
measurments of my system (obtainined with AIDA32 and confirmed by the Asus
BIOS Probe Software) are ok... your comments are appreciated...

Sonny, I notice quite often when people post their box contents the
MOST important item in the box is missing, the PSU. From experience
over the years I strongly feel a higher rated and high quality, for
today and tommorrows new add ons, will alleviate many problems.
Your #s seem to me to be just ok. Remembering that to read voltages
nothing beats a DVOM except perhaps a scope. Probes are a ball park
figure, some quite close others not so.
Temps look good.
