Hi,

I Have a few questions about temps on some computers Im working on.

Possible Overheating

Systems Specs , 2 exactly same systems

Soyo K7VME Mobo with latest bios
AMD 2400+tbred CPU's With retail fan W/artic silver,, 266 bus
Kingston PC2700 DDR
WD 80 Gigs
Sony Floppy
Video onboard
audio onboard
lan onboard
Sony CDRW/DVD combo drive
350 watt enermax supplies

BOTH systems are reporting terribly high CPU Temps
CPU TEMP 84 degrees C / 183 degrees F
In Case chassis temps 46 degess C/ 114 degess F

When removed from case CPU temps are un-changed and chassis temps only fall 2 degees C.

The Bios has very limited voltage information.
CPU Vcore 1.632 <~~ Floats from 1.632-1.643
Dram Voltage 2.560
+5V 5.134
+3.3V 3.504

Im not even sure where to begin looking on this pair of PCs,The componets were purchased several months apart,They are surprisingly equal as far as voltages and temps,BUT, I really dont want to fry anything here. And those Temps are SCAREY!
The heatsinks feel hot to the touch, Unlike my other machines. So I Feel the bios is reporting the correct temps.
Any Ideas would be helpful
