Thanks a bunch man I arrived at a similar solution. Seems the mobo was controling via thermostat and was holding my chip at 59 to 70 deg. I dug through my junk box and found a molex and things are going wwel now she rides at about 49 to 53 deg.

There is a program out there that overcomes the mobo and allows the fans to run at 100% It's called speedfan but it only runs in 98 last I checked

thanks
