How hot should the MOBO DRM's Be?
Hi. i checked some temps today on my build and i was like.. Hmm.. My gpu is good, My cpu is good. Even when stressing the system with the case fans at 5V wich moves like bearly nothing but i have the exaust on the top so it acts as an very effective passive exaust too.. And the cpu cooler is right in front too...
But i poked fast on the motherboard heatsinks.. The one closest to the IO panel was fairly hot but i could have my finger there a while..
The one under the cpu was hot enough for me to burn my finger a little but nothing too bad just at the fingertipp. So nothing mayor on me but i got conserned.. Becouse i didnt have anything loaded up... I did stress the GPU to ~95% and the Cpu at ~20% for like ten minutes and then i closed it and when i tested the DRM temps the computer had just been doing casual stuff like browsing the web and opening maps etc.. But they were still SOO hot..
I looked around and my speedfan says;
Temp 1: 38c
Temp 2: 39c
Temp 3: 25c
HD1: 38c
GPU: 37c
The cpu is Temp 2 the two other " Temps " i have no idea about what they are..
hmm.. I think they are called DRM's or am i completely wrong?
Atleast the Heatsinks on the motherboard is very hot
