I know Everest monitored real time.

You could always just swap in a AIO liquid cooler. Might not be as effective on an open bench, but you move the giant tower out of the way. That will improve caseflow which is always a good thing.

Looks like you might even be able to top mount an h100 style unit.

It's either an e 760 or an e759, impossible to tell from the pic. The e762 was a clunky IMO.

The size of the cpu cooler is not a problem at this point guys...nothing is bearing against the NB. Another cpu cooling solution would do nothing for NB temps. I have never kept up with NB temps in the past so I have no idea if this is normal behaviour...the addition of the spot fan could only have been a positive. :Dizzy:

rick, i think those chipsets runs hot no matter what, i remember my 762 ran smoking hot when i had it in my 24/7 gamer

Nope, I had several of those boards and the NB NEVER ran that hot :eek:

I'd guess the big air cooler is nudging the NB HS at a slight angle just enough to break contact. Water cool the board and your problems are over dude :thumbsup:

or downsize your CPU cooler :P

Once again, there is no longer any contact. It is what it is for whatever reason. No, I will not be watercooling anything in this pc lol....if it can't run on it's own it will burn the frick up on it's own.;)

Tried Everest Kal, but no NB temp monitoring there either. I've asked Evga if temps of 55 degrees were normal after running a benchmark...awaiting a reply.

EDIT: Evga says that sounds about normal...also say they know of no software to monitor NB temps either...as long as under 100 degrees it's good to go.

Ah man, I woulda wagered one of my kids Everest showed NB temps. I must be getting old-durr.

50 sounds normal, I thought you were saying it was running at 100 degrees :Dizzy:
