Fans might not be working properly? Sudden motherboard cooling issues

Are all the fans working as they should?

Are their any name plates or stickers on the case?
Can you find your case online?
This information is helpful to understand the air flow of the case.

To clarify, is it the CPU temperature you're worried about? I'm looking at that CPU cooler and thinking that 66°C under load is probably to be expected with a cooler of that size. The fan isn't huge and it's running directly on top of the heatsink, even a cheap triple copper heatpipe cooler would improve your CPU temperatures I'd have thought.

The OP is worried about the motherboard temp at 68C and the front fans when turned up in speed it causes a BSOD.

His original question was about the Motherboard temp.

Nope, just the motherboard is having high temps. The Graphics Card has windforce technology along with 5 fans blowing on it at any given time. I've never seen temps on it go over 60 degrees Celsius. The CPU is the one thing that stays the coolest in the case. It's abnormal for it to stay above 40 degrees Celsius.

The motherboard has always been generating the most heat out of everything, and average temperatures during gameplay peaked at no more than 64 degrees. If they make software that allows you to control the fan speed, I'll definitely look into and report back. Thank you for the welcome!

which i've shown here that Speccy is picking it up wrong.

Using stock cooling and getting 66*c whilst gaming is not bad at all!

I understand that, but I thought this proved the motherboard wasn't actually the problem?

Obviously this points out that the motherboard is NOT what's generating heat. x.x

My brain is getting confungalated.

We have two motherboard temp problems in two different threads by two different members. I think I have been getting things mixed up between the two.

That being said; motherboard temps should not be 68C if that is a correct reading. If this is a correct reading I'm thinking case air flow problems.

Because of the problems members have been having with HWMonitor in the last week or so I choose to use Speccy readings.

Glad things are working properly now.

I personally never put a computer tower in a enclosed space.
I only put a town on the flood if it is raised to it can get clean air.

Here is a little trick you might be able to use later. It all depends on the quality of your fans.

I run all my fans with full voltage which means they run at 100% max speed all the time. I run them off of a fan hub with direct connection to the power supply. If you choose the right fans this can be done without a lot of noise. If one chooses the wrong fans your computer will sound like a old prop air plain trying to take off with a heavy load.

My system in My System Specs has 14 fans at 100% and two water pumps and runs quite and very cool.

I fully understand. My cooling cost a lot of money. Just the damn fittings mount up quickly.

Building your own water cooling system takes a lot of home work first and for most. You don't want to buy parts that don't work with the other parts.

Building your own water cooling system is kind of like over clock.
You do it more because you want to rather than you need to.
