Poor south bridge, I think it could be a manufacturing defect as the south bridge doesnt get as warm as the north bridge...our mobo's north bridge can get pretty toasty... i use the expert one, but it seems like it is somehow "linked" .. how's my SB? kong oledi.. will send this mobo out for rma later this month, maybe on the 24th (the shop said can claim) and hopefully can get them once next semester start.. i holiday 1month start this 25th ..  Well happy RMA'ing buddy |

the last two pics
you know the risk... » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « after 2 hours starting this ops, everything is assembled back. Quite a rush job. on the way of assembly, I remove the Batt. to clear cmos. It been said that this mobo jumpers doesnt clear properly and requires removal of batt. here are the results after ops (before and after) (no pics cause bro. already hogging the pc and just scanned thru) CPU temp (ambient ~28, night)\ - easytune, speedfan, mbm.... old GPower: ~14 idle ZM STG1 : ~12 idle VGA temp (ambient ~28, night) - rivatuner old HSF : idle-50, load-77 new HSF: idle-45, load-62 new+STG: idle-44, load-60 NB temp (ambient ~28, night) -laser temp thermometer old HS : ~75 max ZM HS : ~51 max there you go the point of existance for 3rd party manufacturer to cover up the sH1t hole major company is feeding us..... p/s OC level will be done over the week end my regret here are only not buying a better Camera (the one used here is a 1.3 mpx w550 phone cam) why .... why.....WHY!!!!!!!!
