Johnny Asia

I RMA'ed a P4P800-E Deluxe, the PSU connector
wouldn't allow the power cable to lock down, and
the serial port was screwy, 2 different external modems
wouldn't work on it.


On the replacement board, same BIOS revision 1002.002

The CPU, chassis & power fan monitors in
Asus Probe & AI keep fluctuating wildly.
The CPU temp will occasionally drop to 0,
other weird readings.

Any clues about what the problem is?

The CPU temps on this board are 3-4C higher than
on the board it replaced. 38-50C, the other
board ran 34-48C

Never mind, I discovered the power connector to the
floppy drive was loose. All is OK now.

The CPU idles 1C cooler now too. 37C instead of 38C
