Have you made certain you have Good thermal connection between the CPU and you heatsink
Only as far as I'm using the thermal material that was attached to the heatsink, and I've made sure the CPU and heatsink are both seated properly. Also, the CPU-temperature only rarely exceeds 65C.
In that case, it's probably your north bridge that it getting so hot. Zalman has a VERY nice north bridge heat sink.
I think you might well be right - but the NB is cooled over heatpipes to a large heatsink: http://jessen.ch/files/motherboard_productimage_ga-ma790fx-ds5_big.jpg The NB is sat between the CPU and the blue PCIe slot, with the copper-coloured heatpipe/-sink on top. AFAICS, it's not really meant to be augmented by additional fans etc. I'll ask Gigabyte what the cooling-situation is / should be. /Per Jessen, Zürich -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
