I have a 8knxp ver1 (was running a 2.8 northwood)i decided to upgrad
to
a 3ghz Prescott,i had loads of heat issues,cpu idling @58oc in
windows,start a game temp alarm goes off!! cpu reports 75oc+,a friend
of mine has same board but a ver2,so after pulling my hair out,i
thought i'd try it in his,26oc idle,49oc under full load(using the
intel stock fan),the gigabyte web site says the cpu is supported in
both version board,everything else is fine,wondering if anyone els
can
sugguest any idea's or if anyones had the same problems.intel sa
it's
my room temp (B****cks!)my friends was tried in the same room!,and
still waiting for email back from gigabyte!!(2 months),the ver1 board
i'm currently using works perfectly,rock solid stable and runs any
other cpus at good temps (running a 2ghz p4 @34oc idle at th
mo(saves
cooking prescott!)).any idea's anyone???

using a zalman flower cooler with artic silver5 and a cooling duct
(cold air from outside case supplying cpu)
cpu voltage is reported at 1.38 volts (autodetected by board) top of
chip says 1.25-1.4v,i've tried manually setting voltage to 1.25
1.30
& 1.35 but system hangs up and app's stop responding!

MANY MANY thanks for ANY help offered in advance!

peteec-

It MAY be the board reporting wrong temps. I have a mk 2 8KNXP with
3GHz
prescot. It ran hot on the stock cooler so I bought a Zalman and it ra
a
LITTLE cooler (sorry can't remember exact temps) but was still hot.
did a
bios upgrade a couple of months ago and low and behold the tem
readings
dropped by about 10 degrees.

thanks adrian,wouldn't that report the wrong temps on all cpu's if tha
was the case?would i maybe be best to try going back in bios's and se
if the fault fixes? as i'm already running the latest bios (13a) fo
the ver 1 board
