GA-7VRXP Temperature readings

[agathodaimon]

Ok, first off, I have an XP1800 processor running at 42C, and have a Gigabyte GA-7VRXP motherboard. For some reason ever since I've built this thing, the SYSTEM temp has been around 42-43C, right along with the CPU temp... Everything is set up correctly, and it reads the CPU temp just fine... There is absolutely NO shortage of cooling fans either... Do these boards just display the wrong temperature for the system or something?
I know it can't be running that hot, because when I have the side panel off, it's VERY cool on the inside...


This is just one of those things that I don't really NEED to know, but would just LIKE to know...

42-43'C and you're worried about that

For starters my computer is running on an Athlon XP 1600+ using an old EPOX KHA+ motherboard. My system temperature is at 46'C, slightly higher than yours. Heck I'm using a new CPU fan with heatsink; with my previous fan my computer is running to temperatures at 55 - 60'C. And it's still running for over a year now Heck, Athlons have been known to run at temperatures of 85-90'C.

Bottom line: Be thankful; your system is just fine
