How to c our mb chipset temperature?

mine at 40c HOT HOT HOT!!!!

download the MBM or SpeedFan , both can help checking the temputure~

wat the heck is AUX anyway in speedfan?

How to determine which one is chipset temperature from speedfan

in speedfan it shud be system i think

usually temp2 in speedfan shud b northbridge/chipset temp
mine is 49 when tested using sp2k4 haha...even when put fan

wahh urs so hot wat mobo ur using.definately in OC rite?mine is 40c in stok i think i need to chnge the NB Hsink to a better wan b4 OCing

Tula, aritu aku pegi uglyvamp punya bbs6, tanya ko nak beli pape, ko cakap taknak..

Kot tak, aku bleh belikan PC Cooler NB400 CU...

ya but only 300mhz increment
cpu temp is 42C max on load but n/b... sky high

duit bang yelek!!takkan ko nak aku makan maggi ko lainla RICH!!!!!

back to the topic i think pc cooler is the most value for money

Then i think it's time for you to upgrade the chipset heatsink...

Got more money: Thermalright HR-05

Got less money: PC Cooler NB 400CU

So which one is my chipset temp? Temp 2 should b my processor and temp 1 is my mb


Attached thumbnail(s)

which version of speed fan mine is v4.31 i think system is my chipset temp

I think u could try to run the system for while and then restart and go to ur bios to check out the temperature and later match it with the temperature shown in the Speedfan...after loading to windows

there would be slight difference just hopefully ur CPU and chipset temperature is not so close....then it would be hard to differentiate the temp....

Mine using speedfan, temp 1 is proc...and it is damn hot at 62C (I not OC and it is AMD Duron at stock 1.2GHz), temp 2 is mb (or maybe is chipset) at 38C - 42C depend on wheather...

OFFTOPIC
last time I thought temp1 is mb temp and temp2 is proc temp, that day check again, it is opposite...pc wizard give me wrong temp also, make me thought temp1 (62C) is motherboard temp...

sorry for off topic a bit...

If so then temp 1 is my chipset temp lo....Am i correct?

Usually it should be ur mobo chipset temp come in 1st place..have u check it out in BIOS like the way i mentioned before ??

that should solve ur query in split second........

my bios read 30c but at window i use pc wizard read 40c

My bios show Proc 62C, Chasis 41C, but at PC Wizard, it show Proc 41C, Motherboard 62C. Speed Fan Temp1 62C, Temp2 41C. So, which one should I believe? maybe believe myself better...

And when I slow down my Proc fan speed, the Temp2 in Speedfan will reduce 1C...so I think temp2 is motherboard temp...Proc temp still remain 62C after I slow down the speed...

obviously biosla my fren.

ok, thanks.

Usually the BIOS temp should be correct unless the sensor on the board itself spoilt ... which is not in this case..

bro get ur heatsink cleaned and apply with new layer of thermal conduct.... other alternative is definately go for after market cooler....

Not really...

Last time when i was using an ASUS P4C800 [Not Deluxe or E Deluxe]

In bios setup, it reports a massive 62celcius [Stock Speed, no oc, using Hyper 6+]

And in windows, used a lot of temperature software detector, what i get is 36celcius

And when i get my hands on a Temperature Sensor Pen, what i get was around 34-36celcius...

So, not all boards reports a correct temperature in bios...

I've been using a lot of boards, and IINM, normally, the bios setup temperature viewer usually report a higher temperature than usual...

that's why i said usually but there is alwasy exception case .......

I do not have any thermal paste now ...will try to get AS5 soon...hope the temp will drop after apply AS5 (I know it will take some time for it to sink in...)... panaflo 80mm fan from darkages bulk will reach today...will get it soon to install in my rear...then at least can get better air flow...then maybe will help little bid on the temp...

But the AS5 wont kick in until it fully cooked my if u couple it with a good HSF u'll see a significant drop in temp.it'll continue to drop a few deg when ur AS5 is "well done"

Totally agree with that.. i had reapplied my GPU cooler with AS5 and the temp drop by 4 degrees as compared to before......

Artic Silver the best..!!!!!!

Is it normal for the northbridge chipset to be hot even without any overclocking?

mine is at 40c at stok.nope wat mobo ur using maybe poor ventilation IMO.

That depend on what type of motherboard u're using right now and what kind of northbridge chipset heatsink that is used to cool you're northbridge heatsink...

Check the temperature, if it's around 30 - 40 degress, then it's still safe...
Correct me if i'm wrong guys...

my northbride have a dunno what heatsink and a 40mm 5700++ rpm fan on it...before lower is at 39C, higher can get upto 46C when wheather hot...last Saturday I cut off the rear casing Fan Grill, then the lower now can reach 38C...at least got 1C drop lor...will get my Panaflo this Saturday...hehe...I think will get better temp after I install it in my rear casing...

Edited to add: Before cut, my rear casing fan grill and the air flow like this:

Hot air turning back

Well, i am using Gigabyte K8N-SLi and changed the stock northbridge heatsink to a Zalman Northbridge heatsink...Using Centurion 5 casing as well so i dont think that will be a poor ventilation problem.Anyway, except bios, is there any other place that i can check my northbridge temperature?

Use PC Wizard 2006 or Speedfan or any other temperature software detector...

Ok..i had just downloaded speedfan but which one is showing me the chipset temperature?

And what is that temp3 that is showing such a high temperature of 70c?Is that even normal?


PS : I still havent done any overclocking yet...

This post has been edited by akachester: Nov 9 2006, 04:09 PM

Err..
I suggest you to use PC Wizard 2006, easier leh...

Just checked with PC Wizard.It is shown as the Power/Aux temperature.Does that mean its my power supply?

OT: Is that too hot for a power supply?Can i still do minor oc at that temperature?

Woh, PSU temperature at 70 Celcius?

My Enermax used in my Pentium D 930 oc'ed to 4GHz and is running X1600 crossfire also never reach that kind of temperature liao...
[Before my board were sent to RMA ]

The highest is only at 40celcius...

What kind of PSU u're using right now?

Anyway, u've used PC Wizard, then what's the temperature of u're northbridge chipset?

Well, its Cooler Master Real Power 450W.Damn, that means the temperature seems dangerous...Time to think of a change now...Is there even anyway to lower that temperature?

In PC Wizard, is the Processor Temperature (Diode) means the chipset?If it is, then its currently at 53c..Is that dangerous as well?

Processor Temperature is processor temperature la...

PC Wizard will state northbridge temperature as Mainboard Temperature...

This post has been edited by sHawTY: Nov 9 2006, 05:46 PM

Well, actually i have 2 processor temperature stated there...one is Processor Temperature @ 31c, and the other is processor temperature (diode) @ 53c. Thats y i am wondering whether its the chipset temperature..

If its the mainboard temperature as shown, then its currently at 25c...I was thinking that this is showing the temperature of my motherboard..lol..

wahh so cool mine at 40c maybe due to my sauna like room.maybe have to get pc cooler NB

Actually how true is the PC Wizard?It seems that some are not quite really true..The temperature is staying the same even after long time of usage...

Because u didn't change the options...

Go to "Tools", then "Options", then tick the "Sensors in real time"...

Press "OK", then click the "View", then click refresh...

There you have the Sensors running in real time...

OIC...never know that... will try after work...hehe...but PC Wizard give me wrong info ler...it give me my mobo temp and proc temp opposite ler ...just find out several days ago...

How do u find out about this?I was also curious whether it stated that wrongly or not cause seems weird that my chipset is at 25c...

Anyway, still worries me that the PC Wizard is showing my CM PSU at 70c without barging from that number no matter i off the pc for few days or leave it for 1 week...Not sure what happen.Maybe its showing wrong result...

It's not showing wrong result...

Even if u're using speedfan, the temp also shows 70degrees right?

Then that must be something wrong with the temperature sensor in you're PSU lor...

Don't believe me then find another software temperature detector, and i am sure that there will be a temperature that is 70degrees...

About you're chipset, does it have any fan on the heatsink?
If it does have some fan, then that means it's true lor...

For the exact results is, u have to use a hardware temperature sensor, not software, use things such as CM Aerogate 2 or any other external temperature sensor...

As I am been curious about my proc and mobo temp, so I try to slow my proc fan speed down to very low rpm from 5700++ to 3700++...I monitor it using Speedfan and found the temp1 remain at 62C but temp2 drop 1C from 39C to 38C...I then adjust back the fan speed to 5700++ again, then the temp2 increase to 39C again...

the conclusion I make is: when I adjust my proc fan to full speed, it blow out many heat from the proc heatsink, so the temp at temp2 (mobo temp) increase a bit...when I adjust it to slower (<3800rpm), not much hot air from the proc heat sink there, so the temp2 drop a bit...

I think my proc temp can be that high is due to the thermal paste... coz last time I bought the mobo, proc and ram from my friend...and my friend use it for quite long time...and I have been remove the hsf in out many time bu did not reapply thermal paste(last time dunno mar.. )...last month also I remove hsf out to clean the whole PC after have some reading at forum here...I will buy AS5 from Moderno when he get his stock after 1/2 weeks... then I can apply it...hope the temp will drop...

Well, you are right..Speedfan is showing the same temperature..What i mean its wrong is because i cant feel the heat on the PSU.If its 70c, i should feel the heat rite?Maybe i should get a hardware temperature detector and check it out...

Anyway, my chipset does not come with fan.Its the zalman flower chipset cooler..So, is it still normal to be at that temperature?

Don't worry about the PSU...

Now, i'm more worried about u're chipset...
There's no way that the chipset can be cooler than the room temperature...

Bro, i'm not making this up, but it seems to me that you're motherboard temperature sensor chip seems to be broken just like my ASUS P5WD2-E Premium board that was sent for RMA on 18th of october...

[The board still didn't return from the RMA process yet... ]

Well, thats what i am wondering about.PC Wizard Motherboard Temperature is showing at around 20++ which you mention is the chipset temperature.However, as i know, there is 2 kind of processor temperature shown on PC Wizard.One is written as Processor Temperature and the other is named Processor Temperature (diode) which is about 50++ and does seem more relevant to be the chipset though..Anyway, if its a problem, must i really take it for RMA?

Can also get Zalman thermal paste as well.... at lowyat there!!!

U have been repeating this over and over again, but how bout you bro?

Have u bought one for u'reself?

If u do, share the experince with us la...

Wanna know the result...

OT: What's the price at Lowyat Plaza aa?
Which shop sells it at the lowest price?

i think brother moderno sell Zalman paste..try to ask him

btw,what temp will the system burnt?

is it will produce hangus smell?

Why don't u try making u're pc system burnt?

That way, you can make a review here liao...

Dunno about chipset but if LGA775 the underside of the proc will turn slightly "perang" burn my last LGA ES unlocked multiplier wasted!!

I live in Johor lar... will I go to lowyat specially just for the thermal paste? I don't think so... I already ask moderno to reserve 1 AS5 for me when the stock come...so maybe I will just bear with it until it come...

Anyway, thanks for your suggestion...

OT!
maybe u can look for other seller as well if ur in kinda urgent.maybe u can find forumer close to ur area to ask for some hey just buy them teh tarik


ermm my chipset temp kinda high in the early morning at 35c after a few hours of running stuck at 39-40c

This post has been edited by styloe: Nov 18 2006, 06:15 PM

OT!

I think I can wait, never mind de...mine chipset (maybe is mobo) temp also will stuck at around 37-39C when not hot wheather. If hot day, sure go up to 40-42C. Before I install 2 80mm Panaflo fan at the rear, it always at 41-44C...

I had OCed my proc a bit from 1.2GHz to 1.32GHz but the proc temp seem not increase...maybe only OCed little bit, so not much heat...after getting the AS5, if the temp can drop till maybe around 49C or so, then maybe will OCed till 1.5 or 1.6C... ...I found that it got little improve in my PC performance even thought I only OC a little bit...

wat mob o ur using its hotter than mine since my ambient temp kinda high in the morning my chipset temp only 35c afternoon at 40c .u also need a good exhaust fan to remove all the heat inside ur casing my fren

is it only turn perang?

cannot use it again?

Turn Perang mean it's burned, yerp, can't use anymore liao...

ohh...I C...

so thats mean,we have to remove the proc to look under it,right?

above the proc doesn't change when it burnt?

thats when happened to amd or p4 s478.the LGA 775 turns to perang on the underside.

My mobo is ASRock K7VM2 Ver. 2 as shown in my sig there. I already put 2 80mm Panaflo fan as my exhaust to sux out the hot air... got one day, when it is raining day...it do go down to only 34C... but that is when the ambient is cool enough...otherwise it will stuck at 37-39C... maybe my casing too small, not enough space for good air flow...I already try my best to arrange those cacing but it still a bit messy...

same as mine 2*80mm fans but im using vantec spectrum courtesy of my roomate he's not using it so i pow him LOL.1*120mm is better than 2*80mm IMO since it has higher cfm im thinking of modding it or just tie the fan up with cable tie

I would like to have 1*120mm fan too in my rear, but the design of my capalang casing...haih... not enough space for 120mm...if really put it there...sure block the USB, mouse connector there...

maybe its time to get a new casing someone selling a fine power logic ultima at good price here.maybe u shud check it out.im try to mod my casing without making a big hole at the rear end.tricky stuff.120mm fan has a good cfm even silent wans if compares to 2*80mm just plain annoying loud.i just got a 90mm from a forumer last nite even they're chapalang but its damn loud wan thing,im surprised got good cfm 0.2A that high usually 80mm uses 0.13 or 0.14 for chapalang wans.so figures hoe fast the rpm and how loud it is.

I will change casing if only I have that kind of money. Currently I still need to make passport which will cost me RM300. So now I am very poor... need to wait for some time...maybe several month later...

Wow your 90mm fan very load ar? how you know got good cfm? use ur hand to feel the air? yalor, capalang normal only 0.13 to 0.14A. Wish your casing will cooler with the 90mm fan...

How just put ur hand opposite the fan.u can feel how much air it pushes actually.temp not much diff coz i havent installed the other 90mm inside.the wan already installed i use as exhaust fan at the side panels.y i use exhause instead of intake.just simple i smoke and a few of my frens also i dont wan the smoke to come in my HSF hehe.maybe i'll installed the other 90mm later.haha u broke ka my fen me also.dunno y i spend buying 2*90mm,1*120mm,2*80mm led and 4*80mm normal black.thats a lot of fans hehe and i got it cheap!!!

dunno y, money always not enough...even if spent wisely Anyway, good luck for your fans there to cool down ur system.

Maybe we should just stop here, a bit out topic already. Nanti MOD marah...

Where's the threadstarter?

He din update this topic a long time edi maa...

What did you do to you're chipset threadstarter?

Changed to another chipset heatsink?

Dunno leh. went missing. shawty, u using thermalright chipset cooler?

Not just thermalright...

One is Thermalright HR-05 for the ABIT AW8D MAX
One is PC Cooler NB 400CU for the ASUS P5WD2-E Premium...



This post has been edited by sHawTY: Nov 22 2006, 09:10 AM

since you start using that coolers,how much it can reduce the temp especially when O/C???

Thermalright HR-05 in AW8D MAX - 7 degrees cooler than the stock heatsink [didn't use any fan on the HR-05, it's hard to find a 70MM fan... ]

PC Cooler NB 400CU in ASUS P5WD2-E Premium - didn't test yet as my motherboard is still under RMA...

I thought u mention hr-03 lol
Best chipset? Compared with thermaltake extreme spirit 2?

My mistake, i've mistypo it as HR-03 as HR-05

How to compare when my asus motherboard is still in RMA process?

Hmmm.. been considering zalman's, tt extreme spirit 2 and hr-05... dunno which 1 to get for my ds3..

what zalman product you refer too?

Well, if you want the best, my votes goes for Thermalright Hr-05

The Zalman Flower Chipset Heatsink...

what is Zalman Flower Chipset Heatsink?

This one:

Model No: ZM-NBF47

how much is t?

dont see it in market.

is it good cooler?

Use the search button up there or, go to bulk section...
There's plenty forumers here that to bulk sales on it...

About the performance, i've heard that it's not quite a performer compared to other 3rd party northbridge chipset heatsink...

That's what i've heard, not what i've said...

Well, i got that chipset cooler from a forumer for around RM38.ALL It is selling about RM40 i think..Well, it will perform better than stock chipset cooler of course but due to it being aluminium and without fan/heatpipe, it will not quite match the performance of other chipset cooler around..But for its price and design, i think its quite worthit to me..

Yah it is available in retail shop of lyp and bulk order ..

performance on the same par with HR-05

however the size may caused compatibility issue with certain mobo....

so do check out before getting it ...

Are you sure that heatsink is on par with HR-05

Doesn't look like much...

The main problem with that Zalman Chipset Heatsink is you can't fit any fan on it...
I'm sure that if can fit in a fan there, i think the performance will be on par with Thermalright Hr-05 without fan...

Have anyone here tried Noctua Heatsink?

lol..i cant confirm this either cause the Zalman is made by using aluminium instead of copper but the fin designs will surely do help in dissipating heat. Anyway, this northbridge cooler is definitely silent (of course, without fan).Good for silent setup.Compatibility issue like you said is something to watch out..It almost block my VGA card when on setup but i think you can adjust it to certain angles...

have you guys try Tt Extreme Spirit 2?

http://www.thermaltake.com/product/Cooler/...34/cl-c0034.asp

the design looks nice

but,is it show good performance?
