Tip 2511 : Some memory slots are free so the memory can be easily upgraded. Warning 100 : Large memory sizes should be made of Registered/Buffered memory. Tip 2546 : Large memory modules should be ECC/Parity. Tip 2548 : Speed set by software. For reliability, consider by jumpers/switch. Tip 2 : Double-click tip or press Enter while a tip is selected for more information about the tip. Warning 2518 : Mainboard temperature is too high. Please help me out :(

Did you have to post all that? All you had to say was your system temp is being reported as 57C, CPU as 43C...LOL! Why are you using SANDRA to check your temps? It's highly unlikely that your board is hotter than your CPU. Either look in the BIOS or use Asus Probe. You should already have it, if not, go to the Asus website & download it...here's the link: http://www.asus.com.tw/support/download/selectftp.aspx?l1_id=1&l2_id=11&l3_id=0&m_id=1&f_name=probe22301.zip~zaqwedc Asus A7N8X-X 1800+ @8x210mhz 512mb PC3200 Ti4200/8X 128mb WDC 60GB

I agree with jam. The system temp and CPU temps are at the very least reversed.

Warning, Sandra probably is wrong. For me, Sandra gotten my temperature readings wrong. Sandra has a habit of displaying the wrong information for a good number of things :(. Thus, in my opinion, Sandra is only good for benchmarking, ATM.
