Are these dangerous temperatures?

isaak · Jul 1, 2009, 05:53 AM

Hello guys

I just opened AI Suite and immediately got a temperature warning for my motherboard. It was over the threshold (45*C) and sitting at 50*C...I have a screenshot attached with the different temp sensors

I know that my sensors are fine because i aimed a 40cm fan at the side of the case and the temperature went down to 29*C.

I odn't understand this, because the temperatures used to be at about 38*C

Hi Issak on the temps the ASUS board I have here always runs a bit hotter than the Gigabyte around 42C. I don't see anything particularly dangerous although odd the temps used to be around 38C.

Have you changed anything like the position of fans or video card?

(AUXTIN in most cases is a sensor that isn't available on some boards)

Well, I was reseating my cpu cooler because of a bad placement before (which by the way is ridiculous (socket775 push pins

)) and i removed 2x80mm fans off my side panel, but they were both aiming directly at my graphics card and i'm confident they couldn't push air all the way to the motherboard

. I ended up putting one back last night, and it now reports the system temperature to be 41*C... so i think problem solved until summer

might be an excuse to get a new case

You never need an excuse to get a new case

Glad it is sorted for now mate

some of the nforce 2/4 chipsets registered in the 60-80*C range and worked relatively well...... course they have such a high failure rate.... erg

same thing with a rig i sold about a year ago, yip you guessed it twas an nforce board. long story short it was reading 55'C from start up it went up to 70' C after less than 2min running.

The actual temp reading was about 45'C though from a thermometer guage. The temp sensors on the cpu was messed goooooooo nforce.

If the temperature warning threshold is at 45C then it's just a poorly designed piece of software. The temperature is really fine and there's no need for concern. Perhaps there's a newer version of the AI Suite that is better, but these software utilities that come bundled with motherboards are often not of any higher quality.

that old rubbish rig, i got the motherboard replaced @ the manufacturers it took a while (1month) and my customer was not happy

. I'm not too devastated that the Nvidia-AMD collabo fell through. Some good can come out of Economic problems: weak and sub-par electronics fall to the weigh-side[i don't think that's the spelling but who cares!]techno-evolution and adaptation take that Charles Darwin

That said, I got a CM HAF932 today YAY!!! motherboard is now at 34*C

PS. this thing is gigantic

Nice choice on the case man and cool on the temps (pun intended lol)
