High Temps?

[superdoyle]

Been a while since i last posted. Got a new gigabyte ga-ma78lm-s2 and put it all together. After i installed speedfan it shows temp3 at 68c. So i went and got hwmonitor and it shows the same thing. Any idea what this could be. Onboard gpu?

and heres pic of speedfan and hwmonitor

Re: High Temps?

Same thing happening with my Gigabyte GA-MA78LM-S2H in my second PC (same board as yours with HDMI output added for the integrated GPU). Speedfan says temp3 is 71c.
I have no idea where that temperature reading comes from.
AIDA64 (aka Everest) does not show it.

I've been using this board for almost a year already without problems.

Sometimes those programs read sensors wrong or read sensors that aren't even there. Best thing to do would be poke around with something like a infrared thermometer and see if anything is close to that temp.

I just have some info from my colleagues and I suppose we're talking about the chipset temperature. If so, don't worry, this is actually ''normal'' for gigabyte boards. In this case I trust the temperature readings if it's an AMD based mobo.

Re: High Temps?

i'm sure its normal. i don't think its the chipset temps, i think it is a non-existant sensor, as i've tried it with a northbridge fan and not and nothing changes.

Re: High Temps?

First of all, is the heatsink cool or warm on it? Second - the thermal compound between the sink and the chipset may be inefficient...

Ok heres a screen shot with it under load. My heatsink seems cool but the 2 others seems warm. hers a screen shot while encoding.

cold with the northbridge fan. both AS5 and MX2.

Re: High Temps?

Well, maybe I say a shitful of crap, but it could be the PWM area, though I still haven't seen a board capable of this, at least I wasn't sure...You may test this by those thermal sensoring gadgets guys use here, or simply you may attach some heatspreaders on those regulators...

actually it could be. where the VRM is right? otherwise i don't think it really is something to worry about, this is present on like, every gigabyte board ever made. well its present on all the -DS2,-DS3,-DS4/UD#P ones and they are all doing fine. i used to have an -RZ but that had bad caps.

maybe an infrared thermometer could trace this, but i don't have one.

now that i look at it, TMPIN0 is the NB temp. its been changing. tmpin1 is the cpu i think. i'm not entirely sure because i usually look at the core temps off of hwmonitor.
