784038 2009-06-20 11:33:00 What is on the mobo(other than CPU and GPU) that could get to 100 celsius under normal operation? HWMonitor reckoned TMPIN2 on the mobo temperature sensor chip reached 100 at some stage while it was watching(usually 50-60). Perhaps this is related to my problem where after shutting down, I have to wait at least 10 minutes before rebooting, otherwise RAM takes extra >5 seconds to turn on, and I get a 'no video card or bad video RAM' beep. Also, my vid card doesn't work in either of the 16x slots. I thought it was a PSU issue, but purchasing a Corsair HX620 didn't help. sammo450 (13626)

How is the system being cooled? Specs?

784040 2009-06-20 13:54:00 Usually the voltage regulators, but without more specs I couldnt tell you where on the board. Definitely need some more fans in there

Mines almost down to room temp...

784041 2009-06-21 00:46:00 I would guess that it's not actually that hot tand that motherboard monitor is just being weird. I used to get some pretty strange readings from it.
Watch it for a bit and see if that temperature leaps around alot

784042 2009-06-21 10:03:00 Hmm yeah speaking of dodgy readings heres a couple of screenshots from my PC. CPU is cooled with a Noctua NH-120, GPU has the stock Black Pearl copper fansink, mobo has a heatpipe from south bridge through north bridge to regulators, and RAMsinks heatpiped to north bridge block. sammo450 (13626)
784043 2009-06-21 11:29:00 One of your temperature sensors must be really screwing up! beeswax34 (63)
784044 2009-06-22 00:38:00 Yeah maybe. The low GPU temp occurred when I had some difficulty waking the PC. The 100 celsius reading went up to 102, possibly when I was rendering with 3dsmax. sammo450 (13626)
784045 2009-06-22 00:49:00 You could set the alam in the BIOS to 80, to see if it ever gets that high. Rob99 (151)
784046 2009-06-22 00:54:00 Update your BIOS? Could be causing the false readings and the shutdowns

THEN AGAIN... Maybe your motherboard chipset IS overheating

784047 2009-06-22 01:46:00 Sounds like a faulty reading or sensor to me, What are your cpu core temps showing? Your cpu shonld be higher than your motherboard JJJJJ (528)
