Can one you guys recommend a good heat sink for the 775 socket on the
P5AD2 Premium.. CPU temperature is too high on BIOS it is registered
about 75c.

I am currently using the intel heat sink which is crap.

using BIOS verion 1009

by the way can i use the white paste on the 775 socket ???
 
I replaced stock cooler with Zalman 7700 Copper unit on this board a couple
weeks ago. Peak temp of CPU went down from 72C to 63C on my 3.6 Prescott.
 
The 1008 and 1009 BIOS really crank up the heat for this board. If you
want to run version 1004 the heat will drop about 10 degrees C. I
installed the Thermaltake Jungle 512, which was the CPU cooler from the
Maximum PC Magazine Dream Machine 2004. I can remember how much it
lowered my temps, but it was a significant difference. I must warn you
that the noise from this CPU cooler is incredibly loud! After living
with the noise for a month I purchased the Zalman TNN 500AF fanless
case and I love it. Fanless computing is awesome and silent. Zalman
tech support has been incredibly helpfull and they have put in as much
time as I have working on some issues. This case is so new that nobody
really knows how all the components out there will work in it and some
adjustments need to be made sometimes.

I am using a P5AD2 Premium & P4 3.6
 
thanks for the response let me see if i can find a supplier for the
Zalman heatsink...

I have a try on the old bios.. thanks steven..

has any of you guys noticed that the motherboard cpu temperature (in
bios) is about 10c higher than the one on the asus probe on windows ?

which is the correct temperature, or which do you guys follow ?

My goodness, 63C. And to think, I was worried about my 2.4B Northwood
staying at 41C even with the addition of a 2nd case fan...
