I just got myself a MSI K8N Neo2 motherboard

The problem is the board temperature is 80 celcius, it reach 90 celcius during full load.
What's the problem with it?

I just flashed my bios to the latest, even my CPU or NB fan is only 40 celcius.

wahh..soooo hot dude..err mobo temp mean chipset temp is it?

mebe ur chipset fan mal-function
try check 1st

there's simple test, use ur finger, touch ur proc n chipset heatsink, from there u can roughly consider izzit too hot or not...

This is the board I'm using..

Erm.. could you show me which is the chipset you're mentioning?

MSI K8N Neo2

The CPU heatsink is cold.
The other chipset doesn't have a heatsink and the golden fan is obstructing me from touching it.

the on-board chip under the fan

How do I remove that northbridge fan? I can't take that out..

Anyway, the fan is working, and according to the speedfan or corecenter, it spins at 5000rpm. Now even in idle it's 100 C @ 1000mhz (cool and quiet)

I touch the NB fan, it doesn't seem that hot, if I am not wrong the whole fan is a heatsink?

yupp. its heatsink for the chip. anyway, the high temp of nforce chip aint need to worry. it just normal but mine never reach 70c even at full stress

But why is mine extra high? It touchs 100 max now at idle..
Will it get burn? Cause I want to try and overclock my pc..

nope. it wont burnt. i believe it just a mistake reading by ur sensor. mebe the software corrupted. have u tried reinstall the software or update ur mobo BIOS??

yeah. Actually I thought it was the BIOS problem, so I just flash it. But the temperature readings are still the same. Except my C & Q is able to function perfectly

try install fresh windows larr. might can fix it.
me oso facing kinda same prob lastime.

i think ur mobo sensor got prob..did u check ur chipset temp in BIOS?

when it reaches 100'C but nothing smell burnt... then probably it's just sensor problem

i guess its a common neo2 sensor problem..
as many user seems to have this prob, altho the temps level may vary
official XS's Neo2 939 thread

wuts da normal temp for mobo nowadays ? O o got too high there though (80 ++)

will it be the monitoring application spoil?

depend on model oso casing air flow, room temp etc.

the result are vary. mine around 54c~56c almost the time even idle or after gamming

well, i dun remember bout da software i download&install but i thought the temp it gave is -ve . wether in farenheit or celcius is it for real

have you tried using thermal probe to test real temp?

i believe if it really does 80degree theodore_kh cant simply touch the nb heatsink with just his bare hand...

wew your mobo is hot..
my msi pt880 only 28 celcius, idle only 23 celcius

dude~ i hope u already goolgle for more info on ur mobo..this problem is quite common problem meh..my last gigabyte k8nf also shown a wrong value of n/b temperature if i use speedfan indicator..while in the bios, this stupid gigabyte board dont have any monitoring system for n/b temp.. huhu~ i think the temperature is juz a bug, try to mod ur mobo by installing iceberg5 n/b cooling fan~

this kind of mod work will various type of pc
