I have a Tyan S2390, Duron 850, Savage 4, lots of fans, and an Antec 300w PS...
My voltages are rather high though...
My 3.3 is 3.50 V, my 5 is 5.15 V, and my 12 is 12.31 V...
Could this be causing any problems?

If I'm correct, the 5v and 3.3v rails are just "available power"...having those high can't really be detrimental. The only voltage you need to watch out for is the CPU core voltage, as if you set it too high, and you aren't sufficiently cooled, you could fry your CPU. Same applies to DDR voltage.
You have a relatively low-power config on a pretty strong PSU. My 5v rail is 5.13 and my 12v is 12.52. But I did the 5v POT mod...
I can't even alter my core voltage with this mobo...
Also, I think you know my cooling is sufficient enough... ;)
Your CPU temp still isn't that low though and you're at default voltage..if you were to voltmod your board (well, you can't, but lets say you could) and take it up to 2.05 or something crazy, you'd need some cooling as more voltage makes the chip heat up.Quote:

When you run with more Mhz, you have to supply more voltage to the CPU. Therefore I said that all the Deltas in the world are useless if your core can only go to 1.85 or something.
More voltage = more power = more heat.
Well, you saw how my temp was at 36 before, and it would be at 32 or so if I hadn't bumped by FSB up to 105... POS O/C board... My VCore is at 1.70 95% of the time, all within 0.02 though... What's standard for a Duron?
Are you sure that your temp ever hit 32 when you didn't OC to 105fsb?Quote:

Standard for a Duron...well there are no "standards" since everyone has dramatically different cases, even OEMs have different types of cases...(those being poorly ventilated, very poorly ventilated, and VERY VERY poorly ventilated...:D) and cooling configs...although for an AX-7 and 80cfm of air pushing on the CPU, on a DURON, 36C is way too high.
Well, when my ambient is 80 F at a minimum...
