8rda+ NB @ 50c (Is this common?) I've posted about this b4 and it was suggested that my "hot" NB was due to stagnant air in the case.
Well I've modded my case and added a Zalman fan bracket + 80mm fan directly over the NB. I've also upped the voltage on the intake and expel fans back to 12v and as a result the CPU temp has dropped 5c down to 45c but the NB is still running at 50c.
This temp is consistent across all FSB settings from 133 up to 205 (the max I can get at the mo). I've flashed up to the new Beta 8rda2c05 (10/12/2002) Bios but am still getting the same readings from both Sandra and USDM.
My question is really am I the only person suffering from this and is it going to damage my board if I run at this temp for a long period of time.
Is the only solution to fit an active NB cooler?
Am I missing something really obvious?
