howdy all , ive got my 3400+ and chaintech vnf-250 online , any of u guys running 64's notice high temps on the chip?.. Mine is running at 50C at idle and 57C at full load . Seems high , i have a cbox that came with the board that displays temps on a digital display. It runs everything fine and goes throught 3dmk05 without any artifacts . thx 38

No way it should be running that hot at idle.
What heatsink/fan do you have on the CPU?

Also, its important the make sure that you have good airflow throughout the whole case.

well after some looking i have found that this board has a known issue with the temp probe location .. im running a stock amd HS and fan . i have 6 80mm case fans so air flow is good . This chaintech znf-250 is a nice board with lots of goodies , but after the problems ive had with the bios bugs it has , i wouldnt recomend it
thx all 38

i've got the 3200+ and i rarely see my temps get up to even 100 deg. did you peel the plastic film off the surface of the heatsink??:rolleyes: it's an easy mistake to make.

there is....alot of Nforce3 boards report the newcastle core temps way to high :)

yeah thats the issue , i have flashed the bios and the temps went way down but i lost the 200 fsb bus for my memory , so i flashed back... seems chaintech bios upgrades fix one thing then break another . owell
