Higher idle-temps with nForce-audio driver

Hi,

i'm using 8RDA+, AXP2400+ and the software VCool (http://vcool.occludo.net) to cool my CPU when there is no processor usage.
Yesterday i installed the last Realtek AC97 audio driver and noticed that in idle mode the CPU temps
dropped by 5 degrees (now 31). So i switched back to the 2.03 nForce audio drivers and the temps
increased the 5 degrees (to 36) it has lost with the Realtek driver.

So i started Prime to see if the same thing happens. NF: 43 / Rlt: 39

Is someone also using this driver and has noticed the same.

The only annoyance is, that now in Grand Prix 4 i can't turn on 3D/EAX. I haven't tested any other games.
