I know you didn't, I thought about playing safe by just saying AS but being the sort of guy who lives life on the edge, I decided to take a chance on AS5 - what can I say?
You win some - you lose some.

Bollocks bollocks bollocks.

Whilst my system was running a tad warm, 70 degrees it is not.

Stupid MBM5 software screws up my mobo's temperature sensors

I remembered that I'd installed nTune on my system on sunday when I rebuilt it, so yesterday whilst looking at the cooling I triggered that off as it has nice graphs over time so I could see how temps raised.

Ohh.. look 35 degrees.

*triggers cpu-burn*

Ohh look.. 55 degrees, stable.

*opens up mbm5*

Ohh look, instantly 70 degrees and climbing.

Hmmmm.

Still, I've replaced the front case fan with another 92mm Zalman to increase case airflow, and have a nice 120mm Zalman I can use at the back (but would rather not as its a little loud)

Such language from such a quiet young man

That sounds much more reasonable. I used to use to use MBM all the time but I started to realise it sucks with certain motherboards and decided it wasn't reliable. Nowadays I tend to rely on the apps that come with the mobo for temp monitoring.

lol nice overclock Garp!

My X2-3800 temps had been creeping up even though the weather was getting cooler, anyway I cracked it open yesterday and hoovered out all the fluff which had seemed to have blocked most of the grills (CM Stacker so grillage all round) and swapped out the stock HSF with crusty compound for a lovely Freezer 64 Pro and a tiny skim of some Akasa AK-450 (best I could find in my tin'o'tricks)

Lo and behold I've gone from a CPU temp of 56C and case temp of 42C down to a CPU temp of 42C and case temp of 34C all measured with both cores maxed out for a day or so - thankyou Churchill

Seems the Nvidia panel gets screwed up by various processes. At the time I took that screenshot I was playing "Freedom Force vs The Third Reich". After about 30 seconds it dropped down to the real, stock, value.
