Hot Chipset

[kevonpm]

I just got everything up and running last night. Smart Guardian says CPU at 25, PWM IC at 48, and Chipset at 51. Should I be worried about anything. Ran Prime95 all last night an no errors.

Nope...don't worry about it...those temps seem fine...some people here have temps a lot higher than those...

[divided]

those are your load temps then? if so, then theyre fine.

[kevonpm]

Yes, those are load temps. Thanks a lot for the help guys. Now to convince my self to try to learn about overclocking. Seems like there is a ton of info, and it is all a little overwhelming. Baby steps, but it seems like one paragraph in and I am scratching my head, lol

w/e just come back the next morning read it again and i bet u will start to understand =)

DUDE yo,, rig a small fan, the stock AMD FAN rip it off the heat sink and rig tohave it blow at the pwmics directly bout 2 inches away. my pwmic never exeeds 38. :nod:

sounds like a good project for this weekend, thanks

[ang3l]

how can theese be full load temps and have [email protected]? my opty [email protected] is at 25-26 idle and reaches 36-37 at full load..

oonly thing you have to worry about is the dfi fan failing since it will be on high all the time, but taht isnt a big deal when you replace with evercool vc-re

kevonpm, You can also go into BIOS under PC health and lower the chipset temp at which the fan will run at full speed!!

[kevonpm]

Thanks a ton for the advice on adjusting the temperature, as for the CPU temp being low, I dont know what to say, what HSF are you using?
