XP-90 temp:

http://www.dfi-street.com/forum/showthread.php?t=16291

I initially installed it the other way (pipes towards RAM slots) That blocks the first RAM slot and in addition, there is only a few millimetres clearance btw the Thunderblade fan and the back of my NVidia card. The reverse way (as pictured) is MUCH better.

Haven't had a chance to note down temps yet. Am away from the rig during the weekend. For once, I wish I was at work!

thanks bro for the link...but they're more from overseas...ambient temp maybe differs from us here...but sure it helps...got some idea on how xp 90 / 120 performs...

hey moderno, when you flashed your bios to 310, did you have to reinstall windows for everything to run smoothly?

After I updated to 510-3, (finally) the problem was still there.
It still freezes at the screen or whenever I opened any files. Even after repair installation also cannot.
Maybe clean reinstall can kua.....

IS yours like that?

33 degrees on load? That is impressive.

33C on load ?????????????

You have an aircond blowing to your rig ar bro ? hehehehe....

i flash the bios to 310 and adjust all the settings according to the recommend setting in DFI-street.com....all done before i installed windows first time on my hd n mobo....

i think fresh install my be a good idea...try la...maybe could solve the problems..btw..what rams do used bro?

so cool ur sandy gavlim... care to share what's the idle temp?..

33 on load?
Deng, I get 49 on load(stock cooler though)....
but that's really quite cool.

i really dunno.. cause i'm reporting the temps given by smart guardian (the program found in the software CD given with the mobo).. without aircon, the idle is 28-29C. then i tried prime95, and then folding@home, the temps on full load (100% cpu usage in task manager) is around 33-34C with xp120. i'm thinking there may be something wrong, but if not, then i'm really happy with the temps. i tried touching the heatpipes when on load, but they feel really cool to touch.

this one with side panel closed..

well, gues they're really good eh.....
finally me crazy DFI is working like a motherboard, instead of screaming around crazily like a 5 year old without candy, it's working calmly like a 80 year old grandmother.

what do u do bro?... ..

even ur pwm temp also very cool~ mine idle is 38C+ .. i guess u may have a low ambient temp

Normally on load, the heatpipes will be noticably hot when touched. You stay on top of a hill?

maybe i set my heatsink improperly. will have to double check later. anyways, spent the whole night folding and the temps dropped summore and no, i dont stay on a hill haha 7th floor condo only.
