Hello Simon Indeed, same as mine. My wife has an Athlon 1.333 on an Elite motherboard running at 34°C idle under Linux. And yes, it affects Win2K too, all OS or tools (like rain) that generate HLT instructions to cool the CPU... Kind regards Guy

Hi Guy,
Just got a message from a friend of mine about these boards running hot. I've got an A7V133 (flashed BIOS from 1003 to 1005a) with Athlon 1.3GHz, 266MHz fsb. The processor runs at 57-59 degrees, same as before flashing the BIOS. Is this normal or hotter than it should be? I've read the problem was with Linux and the HLT instruction set, does this carry for Windoze 2000 too?
cheers Simon
