I got one of those £43 A7N8X Deluxe v2 motherboards from eBuyer when there was a rubbishrubbishrubbishrubbishload in stock, it arrived ok...
Connected everything, booted up but nothing on Primary IDE was detected, tried stuff in secondary and all works... Installed windows etc, had a talk in hexus irc about teh primary ide problems, tried a few jumper settings to no avail, so, thats fault #1.
Updated BIOS after that, just to be recent, (Primary still wont work, but im not bothered about that anymore).

CPU temp in BIOS is always strangely high (60+), even from a cold boot, and will occasionally show s 24 or something for a split second.
Ive had the system since just before / early January now, no real problems. Decided to download Speedfan to check CPU temps from windows, showing as 63, degrees, a bit odd i thought...
There is a temp listed under the listed CPU temp, around 30-40.
Turned the aero7 to full and the CPU temp dropped to 58, began to think i was having major temp problems...
Consulted with Hexus IRC again, told to install MBM so i did, this is better, now displaying the CPU temp as 37, which seems more correct.
Soooo, just wondering what going on with teh temp problems, is it soemthing common with this motherboard, or maybe faulty, but i believe MBM is reading it correctly now.

Edit: One more question: If i set my FSB to 200Mhz in the BIOS, do i need to change the jumper on the motherboard to 400?
