Just got one yesterday so it's still lying on its side with the cover off. Your question got me to try temp cooling the SB, then NB, then mem - no change. It's somewhere around the 3 PCI sockets - I pointed an 80-mm fan on a tube straight down in there next to the vid card and it went right down. hth -- Kris ----- GB GA-P35-DS3L, [temp((1.6 400 Conroe Cel, 667 Patriot 1gb))], MSI NX8600GTS 256mb, Audigy 7.1 capable 24 bit, OnAir USB HDTV-GT with 5.1Dolby and Purevideo Silver, Logitech 5.1 speakers, Sam 931B 19" LCD monitor, Comcast cable, Linksys WRT54G router, Raidmax RX530-SS psu, XPfirewall, AntiVir, XP Pro SP 2

What are you using to see this "System" temp? If not the motherboard manufacturer's software it is possible it is the video card instead of the motherboard itself. To rule this out you might look in your video card Display Properties, in the nVidia driver menus there may be a temp report page. If not, updating the video driver might show this page, and/or Google search for "Coolbits", a registry entry, then apply that and again look in the Display Properties driver menus for the temp report to see if it is around 60C. If it is not the CPU, north or southbridge and not the video card, it may just be an erroneous warning that shouldn't be going off. You might then check on a bios update in case the board bios has a bug about this. That is, if it isn't just a 3rd party software that is incorrectly reporting the temp.

It's the gigabyte system monitor that is giving me the "System" temp. The gigabyte system monitor wouldnt read the video card's temp and then show it in the "system" zone would it? I'll check tonight if the system temp and video card temp (from display properties) are actually the same.
