    I have just noticed that after installing the official video driver of Z890 on my Z690, there has been a "side effect" that the temperature of my 9300M GS has dropped down to 49 degrees centigrade, compared against the fact that when I was using the driver for Vista, it was quite easy for 9300M GS to reach 69 degrees centigrade when idle (regardless of aero on/off).

    Anyone else who's got the same temperature drop?

    Is this a real temperature drop, or is it just the new BIOS R4043M3 "corrected" the sensor reading?
