Motherboard temperature?

[egoran]

Hey all,

I've installed a prog called Speccy to check out temperatures while playing games and the thing that concerns me is that my motherboard gets really hot (around 80'C) while the game is on, but when idle it is about 40-45'C...

Is that too hot??

I'll attach a snapshot so someone with that program can see what are my PC specs..

Cheers guys and thanks for the help

Download this program- Real Temp - CPU temperature monitoring

It will tell you how much leeway you have.

Mine says 100 degrees is max.

What type of mobo do you have? Have you checked with you mobo manufacturer for the temp tolerances? Is this a laptop or desktop? If a desktop is this a custom build or retail PC? Could you fill in your system specs in your user profile area.

Hey bassfisher,

It is store bought desktop PC connected to a TV via HDMI cable,

Win7 64bit
CPU: Intel Core i3 2100 @ 3.10GHz
RAM: 8.00 GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 665MHz
Motherboard: MSI H61M-P22 (MS-7680)
GPU: AMD Radeon HD 6770 (MSI)
HDD: 466GB Seagate ST9500325AS ATA Device (SATA)
Audio: Realtek High Definition Audio

Could you please maybe tell me how to setup SpeedFan properly (step by step if it is not too much of a bother, that software is quite complicated for me) , I've been reading/watching tutorials but it seems every PC configuration needs it's own setup in SpeedFan. That would be a huge help

Please tell me if you need any more info..

Cheers mate!!

Anyone pls?

I don't know what is in your zip file on the first message, but you won't find anyone that will download it. Use this tutorial to post any info for us. http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/9733-screenshots-files-upload-post-seven-forums.html

Hey bigmck,

That is a snapshot file of a application called Speccy, one of the members that helped me with BSOD issue recommended me to upload it for him, so I figured that everyone here uses it.. My bad, sorry.
Anyways I have written down my PC specs and the problem in posts above, so please help me with these temperatures if possible.

Cheers!

bump?

why haven't you downloaded and used realtemp ?

Because the OP may be intemidated by it. I looked at the screenshots on the website that was linked and was a bit overwhelmed. I use Speccy because it's easy to read at a glance. It will indicate if the CPU temperature is in operating range with a little, vertical bar graph (it looks more like a box). As long as the box doesn't get filled with a solid color, the maximum operating temperature hasn't been exceeded. Still, it's usually not good to continuously run anything near its max capacity.

I think your problem is it's a store bought (retail) PC. And most likely it just has the bare minimum mobo which probably doesn't have the means to let speedfan take control of those senors to adjust fan speeds. As in laptops, except for those really high end gaming laptops and that's because those laptops use all high end and high quality hardware. So even if you do figure out how to setup speed fan it wouldn't work anyway do to the low end mobo on your retail PC.

realtemp is accurate and made for intel CPU's with no setup required ...........

As a guess It's likely the CPU is fitted with a stock fan, a comment from the OP would be useful.

The OP hasn't signed on in three days. Not much interest I don't guess.

Hey guys! Sorry for not turning in, ok downloaded realtemp, but can't figure it out... Not really tech savvy I'll post a screenshot and if I need to do anything else, please tell me!

Cheers

The test shows that your temps are fine.
You can also press Sensor test.

You can also run this program - it will put the comp under stress and tell you if the comp is stable. IntelBurnTest - The new stress-testing program

I see the max temps here show 43°C and 41°C. Is that while gaming?

Ok, here is the result with this program.. not good
Any solutions or is it time to take it to the place I bought it from? If so, what should I complain about (what exactly is the problem). Thanks!

That instability could have also been caused by heat. When you run programs like Intel Burn Test, it's best to have Real Temp open at the same time so that you can keep a close watch on the temperatures.

 

[bobafetthotmail]

it's kind of strange for a such low-end processor to fail that test. Who installed the current CPU cooler? If you did it, you sure you placed it correctly and applied thermal paste?

if you don't pass that test and everything was done right, you either need a better CPU cooler or better air circulation inside the case. Try doing the test with the case of the PC open. Anyway, you probably going to solve with 30$ or so for a new mid-range CPU cooler to replace whatever is up now.

It is a store bough PC so all I did is plug it in the power
It is still under warranty so I can't open the case because of it. That is why I'm interested in what is wrong so I can tell that to the ppl in the store.. I'll upload the burnin test again with realtemp next to it.. As much as I can figure it out it maxes out at 55'C..

Is that motherboard or a processor temp? (don't laugh if it is the same thing)

So basically all I need from you good people that are trying to help me is to figure out what to say to the tech support when I turn my PC back because it is obviously hardware problem..

Cheers!
