Hmm, I bought mine in September (S2865AG2NRF) together with an X2 4400+ and 2GB RAM (2x1 GB, ECC, DDR400 3-3-3). Didn't have a problem yet. Idle CPU temperature ~50°C (in BIOS HW-Monitor, so not really idle). My board revision (above POST codes display): APCB M6 94-V0 0509 Maybe you should consider a BIOS upgrade: http://www.tyan.com/support/html/b_s2865.html V3.01 . Adjusted CPU temperature readings Daniel
