I've had a board that uses Intel 915 chipset, but the temp never rises to 40++'C before...
The maximum temperature that i got from using that board is only 38degrees, and that's when i've overclocked my Pentium 4 530 to 4GHz... Chipset temperature will rise autimatically when u oc'ed u're processor as you are forcing the FSB to run higher than stock speed...  Did you oc'ed u're processor? Anyway, that 38degrees i got is using the stock chipset heatsink with no fan on top of it...  |

QUOTE(bikz @ Nov 14 2006, 12:44 PM) i dont think my casing airflow sux.......using negative presure concept thingy... Then, maybe it's time for you to change the chipset heatsink liao...1 intake and 2 exaust... n not OCed....gonna OC soon...but lookin at this temp...wonderin... was playin Ghost Recon jst now..than my Asus Prob went *bling bling*...had to raise the minimum to 45'C (it was previously 43) could it be anychance cause this mobo has S-478 and PCI-E??  Use a 3rd party chipset heatsink... But stay away from Coolermaster Blue Ice 2...  Find any other chipset heatsink... Or, in other way, you can just buy a 40MM fan and find a way to fit it on top of the Chipset heatsink, that will decrease you're chipset heatsink a lot...

QUOTE(styloe @ Nov 14 2006, 03:37 PM) dont forget to put a thermal paste get AS5 or the new zalman thermalpaste.that shud help cool things off Yeah, pull out the heatsink, remove the "bubblegum" on the base of the chipset heatsink, then clean the core of the chipset with arctic cleaner, then apply a new layer of thermal paste between the core and the chipset, this will surely help reducing the temperatue... |

QUOTE(bikz @ Nov 15 2006, 01:53 AM) yeah....i've done that alraedy...it dropped temps by 5'C... guess its cause this Mobo is s-478 with PCI-e..haha... U spray or just use the highlighter? dont think will be installin chipset cooler netime soon...cause just finish fixing everything...took long time to make it look good... and even decorate the 40mm fan with highlighter so reacts with uv... and to those who wanna do that...i found that Pink and Yello react best.... blue not so good...   QUOTE(neoxz @ Nov 15 2006, 09:11 AM) Bubble gum? Isnt it called thermal PAD? It is thermal pad, but it looks and feel more like a bubblegum...  Except that i didn't chew it la...  That thermal pad is no good in handling heat... Everytime i've got a new motherboard, i'll remove the thermal pad and replace it with AS5... It sure works better than the bubble gum...  |

QUOTE(LittleLinnet @ Nov 16 2006, 06:07 PM) if cant cable tie, use double sided tape will do too I believe if using cable tie will look nicer than using double sided tape...Furthermore, if using double sided tape, one day, the sticky part will come off... And when it does, you don't want to imagine what's going to happen... |

QUOTE(styloe @ Nov 17 2006, 03:16 PM) will do butta currently no xtra cash to buy unnecessary stuff. Alahai, buy one 40MM fan, then some cable tie, that won't cost you alot liao...If you want, i can give you a CoolerMaster 400MM fan for free, now, the only thing that u have to do is to buy some cable ties to lock the fan on top of you're northbridge heatsink...  Capiche?  |
