ive used about 5 DG31PR'S with my q6600 and only the FIRST one used to run below 50c
that particular board was purchased about 9 months back, after that, every board has run above 60. my current one is about 65c. my only guess is that the older batches used to run cooler than the newer ones...

the only difference is that one cpu has the slightly smaller aluminum core stock intel HSF and the other has the copper HSF.

im building a friend's system with an xfx8600gt 256ddr3 xxx edition.

using a Q6600 (g0) and a DG31PR mobo.
i disabled the cpu fan control in BIOS to make the fan spin at the max speed.
but that never happens and it only spins at 1200 rpm which causes the cpu to reach temps above 70-75. even 80 at times.
the ONLY way to reduce temps is to boot into windows and...
thanks for ur reply.... the LED's in my cabi are directly connected to the power LED socket in the motherboard. the LEDS have actually only dimmed a bit, but it is noticiable. i guess ill get them replaced from an electrical shop, or get my cabi replaced cuz i dont wanna take any chance.
im using a zebronics marco cabinet and the power LED which lights up the power button and the front grill has suddenly gone quite dull
it worked perfectly for about a week, all of a sudden it seems quite dim.
i called zebronics and asked them what the prob was, they said that the LED's got too...

sigh, i guess i made a mistake by picking up these.
needing a surround sound system in my room with an extream budget, i decided to pick up the creative m4500 4.1 surround sound system.
the speakers are good enough for me, it does the job really well for music listening.
the problem comes when i watch movies, the sound comes from all 4...
