Is my PSU really this hot?

Download a trial of Everest and check your temps. This is the only software I've come across that presents the sensor reading sources in plain English.

Here's what I got.
Motherboard: 105C
CPU: 28C
CPU #1/Core #1-4: 35C
MCP: 52C
Aux: 29C (WTF is Aux?)

That don't seem right either.

The CPU is right. The aux might be one of the hard drives. But the other temp sensors I downloaded completely disagree with the MB temp. According to most, this is the CPU temp, not the MB temp, which is under 30C.

Something is definitely amiss there, if nothing else it shouldn't matter what monitoring program you use but you should be getting 4 core temps and one CPU temp with that x4. You are only getting one core temp and the CPU temp (which should be the socket temp). You should be getting something like this,



After installing Windows did you update the motherboard drivers or is it just running with the default drivers that Windows installed? If it is the default get the latest here,

NVIDIA DRIVERS 15.49 WHQL

Make sure to do a custom install as you don't need (or want) the following,

Network Management Tools (v73.16) "Sedona"
GPU Driver (v190.38) WHQL
Away Mode Driver (v6.0.6000.114) WHQL
Physx (v9.09.0428)

The IDE, RAID and RAIDTOOL I'll leave up to you based on how you have your drives configured and whether you want them or not.

Aux could be your HDD, although why it's not detected as that could be because Everest is unsure of the motherboard type, or it's because it's a trial version. When the full version knows the mobo type + devices, it shows them correctly:

Nope. The only difference between the trial and full versions of Everest is some of the readings/info show will have no value but show "Trial Version" instead (can be a pain with temperature readings when it shows up there).

I am getting 4 core temps, they're all the same so I just consolidated the posting.

Hi folks. What I use to read temps is a infrared thermometer with a little red dot. I have been on line since before daylight and my power supply is 23.9 deg c the fan blowing out is at 22.5 deg c. The little red dot doesn't know how to lie. You can use it to check temps of many things in a PC and compare them with what ever program you are using.
