BLEACHERMAN1 Posted July 31, 2006 Posted July 31, 2006 Hi Guys is this normal 49C for my chipset? Fans speeds at 7031? Normal or not?? Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danuel Posted July 31, 2006 Posted July 31, 2006 From my experience, if that is @ Idle, you should look more into it. 49 is a tad bit high for idle, but okay for load. Be sure to check your temps in BIOS if your using DFI smartguard, which i found is to be off compared to BIOS temps. Make sure you have your cables ran well for sufficient air flow. If you have the stock DFI chipset cooler on, try picking up a Evercool Vrce from SVC.com or a vantec iceberg, with some AS5 and either of those you can drop that temp 2-7 degrees Celcius. it did for mine atleast.

tasr Posted July 31, 2006 Posted July 31, 2006 Bleacherman1 Welcome to DFI-Street While 49ºC on the chipset is safe, most would prefer it lower. Judging by the RPM you have adjusted the fan in the BIOS. I like to set it under PC Health Status and set the: “NB Fan Fully On…” > 40ºC This is a very good thread by soundx98; Temps Too High? on keeping the PWMIC and the MOSFET cool. A good chipset replacement one is the Evercool VC-RE. It’s quieter and a lot of people get a 5ºC - 10ºC drop in temp. Use AS5 when installing the new one. If you decide to order a new one do DFI-Street a favor and use the link in Happy_Games signature for the VC-RE chipset cooler. DFI-Street gets a credit and that helps fund the Street.

BLEACHERMAN1 Posted July 31, 2006 Posted July 31, 2006 Well i went into bios changed to 40C in PC Health .. smartguardian says CPU 58C PWMIC 48C chipset 51C all under load.. Idle CPU 39C PWMIC 47C Chip 50C ??? Thanks!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tasr Posted July 31, 2006 Posted July 31, 2006 I do not use smartguardian. Those temp from smartguardian seem a little off. I use MBM 5 and in my opinion is more accurate. There is a lot of good support here for MBM5. º¿º Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest GripS Posted July 31, 2006 Posted July 31, 2006 Well i went into bios changed to 40C in PC Health .. smartguardian says CPU 58C PWMIC 48C chipset 51C all under load.. Idle CPU 39C PWMIC 47C Chip 50C ??? Thanks!! Judging by those temps me thinks you need better case cooling. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tasr Posted July 31, 2006 Posted July 31, 2006 Judging by those temps me thinks you need better case cooling. Absolutely! Good point GripS. What are your room ambient temperatures? Normally at idle do not expect the anything cooler than 10ºC – 15ºC above your room ambient temperatures. º¿º Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nak Posted July 31, 2006 Posted July 31, 2006 There are quite a few good threads on this same topic on this site. Whilst 49 degrees is'nt horrible, most of the crew on here would seem intent on fixing it. Some of the information on this site is superb and will effectively show you exactly how to remedy issues like this one. The tutorials will give you confidence enough to attempt things that you perhaps would have avoided in the past. Get yourself Motherboard monitor 5 (MBM5) as it is the monitor program that everyone swears by. The wee Everclear cooler can make a significant reduction in the chipset temp and there is even an installation video on here.. Other than that, replacing the thermal transfer material on the existing DFI fan will also make a difference in the temperature. Once again, there are great tutorials available. Even a well placed case fan can make a difference here. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
skip61 Posted July 31, 2006 Posted July 31, 2006 Change your stock chipset fan with an Evercool VC-RE ,it will make a difference. Also use AS5 for your thermal paste. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
