Zenskas Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Sounds good, no heat problems there! Now you know how much heat PCs can handle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mara- Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 (edited) Well, I was just looking mine motherboard temp, and I wouldn't said that everything is great in your case. My motherboard temp is 17C, so comparing your temp to mine, yours is to hot (I think that 18C is to much difference). Also, last motherboard which I had and which started to has that temperature died after a month. Just to mention, that I'm using stock cooling for CPU and there is no any fans attached directly to motherboard. I have 8600 card with active cooling and it's idle around 40-44, so it generates a heat but motherboard is still cool. Maybe, you are not using case fan properly.Cheers Edited May 11, 2009 by mara- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It must be freezing .It all depends on your room temperature... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Access Denied Posted May 11, 2009 Author Share Posted May 11, 2009 19 C for a motherboard is near impossible. A cpu however is a different story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zenskas Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 (edited) 17C is very cool. It may just have a nice cooler, and your room temp must be well below average. I have had the mobo in my sig since November last year and it idles at just below 40C. Runs fine!EDIT: And when I touch the northbridge cooler while running it is only warm, not hot at all.

puntoMX Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 EDIT: And when I touch the northbridge cooler while running it is only warm, not hot at all.I don't know if that's a good sign, if the paste / pad under the cooler is bad the cooler stays cool too. If it's easy to check than I would place some better paste there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zenskas Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 It is running under 40C anyway so why would I bother checking? Should the northbridge be hot at touch? Its wouldn't easily come off anyway. It is connected to four other heatsinks so would be a bit of a hassle. Thanks anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
