snakieee Posted March 8, 2008 Posted March 8, 2008 My northboard chip is hitting like 80-84 C and I dont think that is good or am I paranoid? Thank you, Jake Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
philbrown23 Posted March 8, 2008 Posted March 8, 2008 wow! mine never goes above 58c when overvolted I dunno if thats normal or not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingdingeling Posted March 8, 2008 Posted March 8, 2008 What is your cooling system like? How many case fans do you have? I am not familiar with that chipset, it may run that hot, but then again cooler is always better... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comp Dude2 Posted March 8, 2008 Posted March 8, 2008 how do you check? i have never checked mine lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
snakieee Posted March 8, 2008 Posted March 8, 2008 (edited) Ok well first off its not overclocked (i think) if it was it did it with out knowing or i am sleep walking again. It has a gigabyte heat sink on it and i have 3 fans on the case pointing right at it. I figured it out by Speedfan. It labeled it temp3 so i started feeling around in my comp and i touched it a said DAMN THATS HOT! Im going to reset cmos and maybe if i had OC'd it and then other than that i need a new cooler... What could make it so hot? EDIT: Ok well im going crazy its not the Northboard but Speedfan says theres something in there that is hot (82C)... How i know? i just reached in a felt it... but if its not that then when what else could "temp3" be? (84C) The other are: Temp1:30C <----Called System in my Easytune Temp2:37C <----CPU Temp3:84C HD0:29C <----think you can guess;) but just in case Harddrive Core:48C <---- Graphics Card ambient:32C<----Not sure... think it could be related to Graphics card in less ambient is a component that i never heard of Thank you, Jake Edited March 8, 2008 by snakieee Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowfactor Posted March 8, 2008 Posted March 8, 2008 well touching a heatsink thats 30 C shouldn't cause OMG THATS HOT type of reaction. I"ve felt my Northbridge heatsink when the NB was around 55C and I was able keep my finger on it for a decent amount of time. I'm a bit confused with your post, at first You said you felt the NB heatsink and it was really hot, like going to burn your hand hot. Then I would go with it probably needs to be cooled more. but now your saying thats it's not the NB.... Which is it ? Also It could very well be the NB actually thats heating up that much in the system. Your heatsink might not be making good contact with the chip itself and thus causing the Heatsink to feel cool but yet the chip is very hot ( Unsafe temperature actually if it's really that hot.) The only other parts in the system that really get that really could get that hot are : CPU , Mosfets , SB ( maybe) it'd sure take a while or a ton of voltage, which would be unsafe. What temps are you getting in the bios. It could just be speed fan or what ever is off ........ I'd trust bios temps for chipset temperatures over any program Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccokeman Posted March 8, 2008 Posted March 8, 2008 Graphics card by chance? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
get_saif Posted March 8, 2008 Posted March 8, 2008 try Everest free edition or professional for a confident view. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
snakieee Posted March 8, 2008 Posted March 8, 2008 I think its speedfan. because if something was 82C it would be dead by now. Everything in the bios is like 38 and under so I think I am safe and its a false reading. Im going to try that Everest thing though for a second opinion...(Speedfan is the only program that gives me the reading... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
