I think that some of the small thermoresistors inside the system are actually just horribly out of calibration.

It seems that you have a faulty one......

If you have the infrared thermometer, you might be able to measure the actual temp......

Not necessarily though, I have no idea what those sensors are all for. If I just use EasyTune, it reports idle temps for the 'system' at 32'C and for the 'CPU' at 25'C. The CPU hits about 60'C when slammed with Prime95.

If I look between SpeedFan and EasyTune, it'd seem that 'Temp1' is the 'System' (Probably motherboard sensor) and Temp3 is the CPU temp. As for Temp2, GPU and Core that SpeedFan finds, I have no idea. They seem to actually be irrelevent however.

25'C for the CPU still seems low, even if idle however. Myeh, whatever. It doesn't crash under Prme95 so what else matters?

I installed the NT07-AM2 this weekend. It's definitely quite a bit smaller than the Shuriken. Here are some pictures:







I found this helpful video on how to remove the stock heatsink mounting clips. However, I found I was able to just push the pins in from the bottom with my fingernail -- no tools needed.

Looking good Dougie Fresh!.....

Yup I used my finger nails too!!!!!

I am digging your set up too!

So many builds so little money!.....

[Dougie Fresh]

When I am done this will have all the bells-and-whistles like a slot-load blu-ray and LCD front display.

I just need to find time to work on it!

I appreciate your efforts doing this so the community will just buy something that works.

My A6-PACK I am loving more now everyday I turn it on.... since it all works like it suppose too.

So you plan running it only with the CPU fan? correct? That will be nice and quiet....

Eskro you are a G Skill Fan... what are you talking about..... you use G skill.... lol

Ok, so the unexpected happen while I was waiting for the memory to arrive -- I sold the HT100 case .

This build is now an E-i5 A6-3500 . When I am done I am going to sell it as a barebones so it'll be all set up for adding an SSD and XBMC .

First, though, I'll be installing an SSD and Windows 8 to play a bit and test it all out.

Sometimes you just run out of funds and have to sell. I've already got a good HTPC with the G530/HD5450. You know what I mean?

i exactly know what you mean.... cool!

[Dougie Fresh]

Maybe someone will want an E-i5 A6-PACK and it'll be all ready for them to enjoy!
