Hey guys,

After continued bad luck with the DFI Lanparty NFII Ultra B, I moved over to a Gigabyte GA-7NNXP.

When in the DFI board, my 3200+ barton would run at ~100 degrees, but now it is usually up at around 140. Anyone else have this problem? I'm thinking it could be the DPS board that they stupidly stuck directly in between the CPU and rear fan.

this is no problem ...
ANY motherboard gives you different value ... you can NOT compare any values ... note even between the same mobo ...
the senso is giving the bios a value ... 1. this one is always different since the thermal diode is not always at the same position ...
2. now the bios has to interpret the value ... it does not get "hey I am 10°C cold" it gets ... e.g. resistance of 10kOhm ... what this means to temperature does the BIOS calculate ... and this is different on ANY motherboard .. even on different BIOS versions ...
while the epox told me about 30° the Gigabyte told me of 65° .. or was it turned round ?? don't remember ... but thats equal ... the only thing counts is - put your fingers on the cooling divices and see ... is it warm or not ... the rest can only be taken to take differences ... OK the CPU is 5K warmen when doing .... but how warm the CPU reall is does no motherboard show

The Gigabyte nForce boards use the temp diode in the CPU core. Not a temp. sensor in the CPU socket.
Measuring the CPU core is more accurate. But it gives a higher value than most people are used to.
Check the Gigabyte forum on nForcersHQ.com

and even those can be interpreted as the BIOS creator says

Yes, that´s right.
I just wanted to tell him not to worry.

That the temps reported on Gigabyte are higher than most..

Yea I understand the differences in temps between mobos. 10-20, ok, but 40 degrees? I can't believe it would be *that* different.
