    Chipset temperatures.

    I have an Intel DP965LTCK motherboard in the PC I am using at the moment and I'm quite concerned about the chipset temperature readings that I see on the "Intel Desktop Utilities" software that I am running.
    Currently my MCH chipset (Intel P965) is at 57c and my ICH chipset (Intel ICH 8) is at 64c which I think is a tad too high? What should the temperatures be to be in the safe range?
    Oddly enough, my CPU is the coolest out of all the other measurements. My CPU is an Intel P4 530J and is at only 51c compared to the hotter chipsets.

    Thanks.

      965's thermal guide states the maximal temp sustainable is 97 C, but I think the optimal one is way lower: try to cool the chipset at 40-50 C by replacing the hermal compound under the heatsink or the heatsink itself (if the mobo is out of warranty) or by putting a fan in the neighbourhood.

              WOW, 51C on the processor! Intel guys always try to say that AMD's are hotter, but my 3200+ never got over 40C and my 5000+ X2 never gets over 36C.

                      idk man, my friend has a athlon x2 2.3ghz that only runs 32C full load with the stock AMD cooler.

                          The sensors are built into the chips and are reading core temps, not surface temps.

                              by DynaxSC
                              Hi, i have an ASUS PRIME Z590M-PLUS board, which had an shorted Z590 chipset. I have succesfully exchanged the chipset to a factory new one, however there is a serious problem with the Intel Management Engine (later on: ME) not beeing activated after the chipset device replacement.

                              For lower chipset families (on ASUS boards) it worked to program the oldest bios version into the SPI rom, and the bios had activated the Management Engine itself by default - there was a message on the screen prior booting - "BIOS is updating Management Engine ..... .

                              I believe Chip 2 is BIN is the main one as it contained the Windows product key, marked with XXXXX for now.

                              PROBLEM: Turns on blank screen, charging circuitry motherboard looks good. I have tried another firmware here - but resulted in 5V will not go to 20v due to different PD firmware I believe - using the current firmware it does go to 20V.

                              by TWISTED 88
                              So I got this dell motherboard. its a dz87m01 came out of a xps 8700 desktop i believe. it wont post I did some checking on it and was pretty sure the chipset was bad I have a bga rework station so I removed it and it looks like i was right. so i know this thing is old and pointless to put money in but a new chipset is around 25$ and i like fixing things that don't work .

                              so question is to the people smarter than me is there a possible upgraded chipset that would be compatible as a replacement. The current one is the sr176

                              ASUS STRIX Z490-F GAMING - No POST, stubborn board
                              by DynaxSC
                              Hi,

                              I have this very stubborn ASUS mobo on the bench, and I already face the wall with it. It just refuses to POST, although everything seems to be OK.

                              The situation looks like this:

                              After connecting the board to the power supply on Nuvoton (SLP_S3#, pin 64), the Low signal (50 ohm resistance) appears immediately. PWRNTN# signal goes through Nuvoton to the chipset (confirmed after removing the chipset). The following conditions are then met for the chipset to generate the SLP_S3# signal:

                              1. RTC oscillates normally (32.768KHz).
                              ...
