35 = Case, 51 = Chipset and 63 = Processor - verify what they read in BIOS (hardware health) after a reboot, as MBM needed a -10C correction on the CPU for mine (GA-7IXE4).
Currently running at 41C case, 48C CPU (1200 Athlon), with the side panel off - I was having power supply cutouts, and had two more with the side off, but pulled the old tape drive (as I'd heard the motor activate for no reason), and so far, it's as hot as it was with the panel on, and (now I'll be lucky if it lets me finish this) no cutouts since!
PS.
http://stargaz0r.nm.ru/ - S2KCtl - a freeware "cooling bit" control for the Athlon - it WORKS, BUT:
The power bumps that result from the cycling between full/low power, and the memory load caused by the cache voiding on entry to LP state, place GREAT DEMANDS ON STABILITY - I usually crash under any northbridge cooling bit solution, not just this one.
NB. If the icon is RED, cooling is not enabled, if GREEN, it is - it toggles on a double click.
