IC7 bios 18 reported higher CPU temps. This is all over in Abit forum. I happened to have both IC7 and IS7, the latter reports lower (5-6C) with identical setup and CPU. BIOS 19 just released today(although dated 11/4/03)corrected the overstating CPU temp somewhat. It's still higher than IS7 by around 4 C, but hell a lot better than Asus P4P800 in understating by over 10C.
I always bad mouth board makers. But, I think Abit is trying to listen to customers. Forget about MSI, they have no hears.
