ASUS Rampage II Extreme Intel X58 Core i7

from Maxorange, www.newegg.com
another note for overclockers is that, at least in my experience, the nb temperatures stay surprisingly low even when pushing the board to it's limits.
from www.amazon.com
my main concern is temperature, with such a limited amount of space, it might be difficult to circulate air through the unit.
from GSF1200S, www.newegg.com
lmsensors works in terms of the coretemp (cpu core temperature).
from N/A, www.newegg.com
i can game all day and the temperatures will stay constant too!
from www.amazon.com
* the lcd poster has many available configurations, including temperature, voltage, or hw info.

from f00fsak, www.newegg.com
2 rear 60mm fans and 1 front 90mm was all it took to keep temperatures at an acceptable level.
from BTN, www.newegg.com
the temperature of the processor exhaust air is far lower (used laser thermometer) than the northbridge so it's a net benefit to vent towards it.
from alfaudio, www.newegg.com
the temperature of north bridge is reasonable in most of the daily application (including hd vedio decoding).
from spark, www.newegg.com
drivers difficult to compensate for overscan.gpu runs hot (i added on a small fan from an old external disk enclosure) temperature is better.not enough fan headers on board...
from artbatista, www.newegg.com
other thoughts: i have been running seti@home on all 4 cores as well as the 9400 gpu and temperature rises on the cpu and chipset heatsinks are negligible.

from Rick, www.newegg.com
and mouse.difficult to find a cpu fan that will fit because of the design of heat pipes (again design issues).cpu thermistor reports temperature of the cpu case, which is not what you want to see.
from Ryan Gardner, www.newegg.com
in a few months this might be fixed, but as of now you can't get any temperatures from it - which means you have to boot into windows if you want to overclock it and measure the resulting temps.
from N/A, www.newegg.com
cons: does not report temperature of cpu correctly.
from Sparky, www.newegg.com
pros: good compliment of back panel i/o, excellent board layout and passive heat sinks; epu-6 does an excellent job of throttling back on power consumption leading to lower mb and cpu idle
from Rick, www.newegg.com
come on, asus, this is the "deluxe" version of p5q motherboard after all...has merged ps/2 port, so you'll end up having to buy a splitter if you're planning to use ps2 keyboard and mouse.difficult

from Seth, www.newegg.com
the temperature display on the motherboard is not correct other thoughts: i didn't have any of the max 3gb problems that others are having with the stock bios.
from holastefan, www.newegg.com
it seems to be the "thrm" temperature, and in hexadecimal.
from webaddict, www.newegg.com
pros: easy to overclock cons: tpower2 windows utility reports temp at 33c all the time, idle or full load, and sets cpu fan auto at 0%!!!don't use that to overclock, use bios manually
from N/A, www.newegg.com
pros: good lookingwell layed outtons of usb portsreally easy overclock cons: onboard temperature display is not accurate and sometimes doesn't display temperature at all.

from Joe, www.newegg.com
cpu and mb temperatures are the lowest i've ever had.
from rca1172, www.newegg.com
before doing so, the mb temperature would exceed 60c & after placing an additional fan, the temperature never exceeds 30c.
from www.amazon.com
there was no easy way to confirm this suspicion, however, as the abit uguru program, which was supposed to monitor cpu temperature, did not work with vista x64.
from whitewidow13, www.newegg.com
pros: -great for overclocking-very cool temperatures cons: -none that i can think of other thoughts: i used this board for a gaming computer for my brother.

from TheHighRoad, www.newegg.com
temperature values low just as the product features suggest.
from malcolm, www.newegg.com
also, i found it amusing the cpu temp sensor reads ~20c but the system temperature is supposed to be 40c+ (you'd think it might be the other way around...and maybe it is...then again, the e5200
from fawker, www.newegg.com

shows boot codes during startup and the cpu temperature after that.- the little things, like a reset bios button on the back and a padded grill (whatever you call it) for the peripherals ports.-
from N/A, www.newegg.com
from what i could find, this was the easiest temperature monitoring i could find for the cpu that eventually got installed.
from Nifty, www.newegg.com
pros: this mobo is great; its easy to overclock within windows or using the bios, laid out well, solid construction, great onboard features such as bios reset and temperature indicator / boot codes,
from CorneliousJD, www.newegg.com
pros: this is an amazing board, well put-together by a reputable company.comes with amazing full-color chart.manual is extremely helpful.led display's cpu's temperature once booted!

all of the heatsinks and piping really do help lower temperatures of the boards, but it could use a fan.
from xdcastro, www.newegg.com
it has a really nice design , low temperature on chipsets !
from sammy, www.newegg.com
with ambient temp of 22c, the processor runs 2.4ghz on idle and coretemp shows two core temperatures of 37c and 39c.

from quark, www.newegg.com
does not recognize all my fans, and the cpu temperature oscillates too much, even though all these are ok at the bios readings.
from www.amazon.com
keep cool temperatures all the time with "normal" office and photowork - no games - works great with my amd 64x2 5200 processor.
from Tijmen, www.newegg.com
other thoughts: - gigabyte keeps advertising the durability and temperature control of their products due to 2oz of copper.
from JubJub91, www.newegg.com
then i tought maybe it's overheating, but i looked at the temperature that it ran at, and while the temps were high; the computer would shut off when the temps were low.
from computerfarm, www.newegg.com
cons: using cpuid hardware monitor tmpin2 temperature was 172 f and i am worried that it may cause problems.

lots of case fan control and temperature monitor options.
from Piotras, www.newegg.com
and that was a trick to lower the north bridge temperatures from 50's to 30-40c without cranking out the speed of those loud case fans.

love the lcd you can have it monitor temperature of all 4 cores of the processor and 2 other areas of the case and it will monitor voltage to the cpu and memory.

manually adjusted to 3.6 and uses less voltage then level up function and runs the same temperatures as at 3.2ghz.
