Mother Board or CPU.... Your opinions

i think it will be a faulty temperature sensor, however, pentium 4's can handle up to 95 degrees, my pentium 4 3.0ghz prescott could anyway.

if it feels cool them it will be a faulty temperature sensor, is the temperture sensor actually on the cpu, or on the motherboard?.

with my pentium 4 cpu, i was getting 64 degrees at load, when i touched the AC Freezer 4 heatsink, it was barely hot.

so i had a faulty sensor, must be a thing with pentium 4's :\

 

oh i can definately touch the heat sync thats not a problem at all it doesnt feel too hot neither so hopefully its a faulty sensor went out and bought the thermaltake big typhoon though just incase

 

have you installed the new cooler yet?

 

no not yet as of now its runnning in the sateady high 60's/low 70's

 

Thats still too hot

 

i figured it would be but im too busy running into little snags like this front usb controller..... i put the usb jumper headers or whatever you awnt to call em appropriate on the mother board but im still not getting nothing.... i changed the default jumper headers to 5+v too and changed it back and nothings working... its getting retarded because i see them in the device manager but anything i plug in is not showing up.... any suggestions?
