!!! A7N8X Deluxe BIOS Rev. 1002 + CPU temperature !!!

I have a Thermaltake Silent Boost(about 23db, 2500rpm)
Had a Cooler master HAV-81, it cooled real good but in this case too much
noise.
If the room temp is low then the cpu temp drops.

I have an XP2800 on mine and it runs at 51c unloaded.
When I had the other hsf on it ran cooler due to min fan speed of 2800
rpm.
This fan runs at 2400 rpm all the time and pushes less air.

Also if my room is cold then the cpu temp drops to around 46c.
The warmer the air pulled in, the warmer the cpu.
A fan cannot pull in cool air if there is none in the room.

I think this could be an issue KB. The temperature in our livingroom is
mostly about 20° C
However my system is placed in a PC-fourniture which is not the best way
to
put your system in, but sometimes ya have to. Mae compromises with my
wife,
hehe. Otherwise i have to put it on a place where i don't want to be, so
.... ;-)

I will think about it to buy me the newest Zalman Cooler or another one
with
same capacities and lower costs .. Which hsf do you use?

My CPU gives in the BIOS a temperature of almost 62° C!!!
This can't be normal i should say. My MB temp. is than 22° C, what
seems
to
be normal.

However when i start XP Pro and run Asus Probe, the CPU reaches values
at
that point of 46° C
What is going on here? I have a bad feeling about my processor, which
has
big problems to keep low temperatures. It increases to high values,
especially when i run KaZaA Lite 2.43 i discovered.
CPU usage is then almost 77%.

But why should that causing increasing of CPU temp.? I have RAM enough
(1
Gb) so it shouldn't be a problem. My former processor (2400+) gave no
errors
at all, low temp. and never shutdowns of my system.

Is there any way where i can find out if my processor sucks? Of course
i
should take the whole system to the store where i bought the processor
a.s.o. but i really can't miss my system for more then 2 days. There i
have
to wait at least 7 days when i get it back.

Maybe here is another problem what causes all my problems of the
shutdowns?
Please help me with this if one of you can ...
