Anyone using an XP-90 in the Antec Sonata?

More specifically, on the Soltek SL-K8AN2E-GR motherboard.

Unfortunately, I the CPU temp readings on this mobo are unreliable (my CPU temps increase when Cool'n'Quiet undervolts my CPU core to 1.09V)'

Anyways, my mobo temps do make more sense though. And after installing this beast, my mobo temps are up by 4 degrees celcius. I'm using a Nexus 92mm fan on it, spinning at 1600RPM. Accompanied with the stock rear case fan and an Antec Pro series fan in the front (spinning at 1100RPM on idle), both are connected to the FAN ONLY connectors. So basically everythign in my case is low speed.

Should I be concerned? Or is it just that this beast is obstructing my airflow a bit?

Do you guys also have a rough idea of the specs of the stock fan in the Sonata? at 5V? at 12V? the RPM more specifically?

well it could just be that the new fan/HS is blowing warm air on the area where your mobo sensor is - or similar change in case airflow.
