Im running an Athlon64 3500 on a Gigabyte K8V Ultra 939 in a Wavemaster with both side panels off. Ambient is around 25C

With the standard cooler Im gettingaround 44C idle and over 70 on full load (Prime95)

Ive tried 2 other coolers, and Active Cool jobby and a Scythe Kamikobo Z, and they both give temps over 70C on full load.

Im monitoring using the Gigabyte hardware monitor, MBM5 and Ive also tried SpeedFan. If I shutdown and reboot into the BIOS, Im also seeing high temps in the hardware monitor in there.

Using MBM5's logging, I start Prime95 the temp rises from 44 to 67 in 2 secs!! Peaking at 77. If I turn Prime95 off, the temp drops from 77 to 55 in 2 secs. Surely this cant be right? Theres no way an air cooler can dissipate 22 degrees in 2 seconds is there?

Im beginning to wonder if the board is reading the temps right, since all 4 methods of monitoring read the same, and all 3 coolers give the same amount of cooling (when Id have expected a big difference between the stock cooler and the Kami)

Ive flashed the BIOS to the latest version (F3), and it hasnt helped at all.

Any ideas anyone?
 
yeah all those methods of monitoring temps are probably coming from the same place so I'd say either your temp sensor is fukt, in which case don't worry about it. or you've botched up the installation on all of the coolers in the same way each time you replaced it, which I doubt. If your system is stable don't worry about it
