    What is the optimal motherboard/System temperature?


    Hello!
    Anybody know what is the optimal motherboard temperature? Currently my System Temperature has C. 35 to C.45 temperature (Speccy software shows). So is it normal or abnormal situation?

    F or C?

    Which Intel Mobo?

    The optimum is as cold as you can get it! :)

    What are your ambient temperatures? If your machine is in a room that is about 20°C warm, then various machine temperatures around 35...45° C are acceptable.

    Not sure what you mean by "System Temperature".

    For specific temperatures of chips etc, you need more information.

    Try to get your temps as low as you can go, but not so low as to result in condensation (which I've seen done before).

    The time of year and amount of airflow through your rig plays a major role in gauging your temps. In the summertime, where ambient heat from the air is generally warmer, I try to keep my idle temps between 30C and 40C. Come winter time, that range drops to about 25C to 35C, because the cooler air temps help a bit.

    I follow this rule. If your cpu maker states that the max safe temp before shutdown is 70C, then try to keep your own max temps at least about half that, which gives you some room to play with should your have problems with a fan or something...

    They are "c".
    Mother board is "Intel Corporation DG31PR (J3E1)"

    "System Temperature". mean motherboard temperature.

    I'm in a tropical country. So our normal room temperature is 20c to 30c.

    As heat rises then if your case has a top exhausting fan then if possible please orient the CPU cooler to flow cool air in and out towards the top exhaust. Likely you will not have this fan but will have the traditional rear facing exhaust fan, then please draw air over the CPU from the right to the left and out the rear case exhaust fan.

    System Temprature usually refers to the PWM area. At least in my experience.
    Sometimess it may refer to the ambient temp inside the case.

    The rest are self explanitory .. CPU / Chipset etc.

    If yours is indeed refering to the PWM, youll need to check MOBO specs to find its temp rang. But I would say as long as it stays under 50-55C its fine. Likely has a bit more headroom than that. But if its saying under 45C, completely normal.
