    Default K8N neo2's temp goes higher than real one, but is this a bit too high?

    Well, yeah, we all know MSI K8N neo2 platinums have problems with their temperature problems... But core center is starting to worry me a bit... Apparently, it keeps saying my idle CPU temp is 59 C, which is way higher than a load should be... But my ambient temp is 19-21 C (boo yah, go 9 fans + 2 PSU fans). So is this temperature showing my CPU is higher than it should be? Or is it that the dang temp sensor is screwing with me again? (FYI, I have to manually control my venus 12, since um... killed the thermal sensor , so its always set on high)

    how'd you do that??

    if you wanna know if the the mobo is lieing...just put two fingers on the heatsink...does it feel like its 60degrees?? a 40 should be warmish,/maybe a tad bit hot, a 50 should be mediumish hot, a 60 would be pretty hot to touch...(tap water is about 65C...)

    i also have the neo plat, you know the newer bios update 1.4 is supposed to correct it. also i use nvidia system utility instead of core center to read temps. I think they are still wrong but at least the nvidia one shows about a 5 to 10 c drop.

    Um... mines the neo2... There's no 1.4 BIOS update, only 1.3.. Updated to that too. Well, I lowered the volts, and raised the fsb a bit , and got 48 idle, so I think that's good... I guess.

    Haha, no way man. 65C is about 150F so there is no way tap water is 150F.

    eh...i read it off a science text book a few years back...guess its was pretty outdated...

    i just found out that the temp differs depending on the water heater and the settings on it...heaters can heat well above 150F, however the consumer product safety commission suggests that water heaters be set to a maximum temperature of 120° F

    I would expect tap water to be around 5-10 degrees cooler than room temperature.
