    Soyo SY-P4VGM Temp Question

    I recently purchased this motherboard as a replacement for a friends emachine that died. My question is even though the board is very stable and passed all of the burn in tests I noticed that the temperature of the board seemed to be a little high, about 102 degrees f., and seemed to stay there even when I opened the case and set it over the AC vent. I have placed an extra fan in the case, even tried reversing it but the board always reports about 100f. I was wondering if this is a problem that I should be concerned about, and if replacing the heat sink on the northbridge would help? The cpu temp is fine and I also replaced the PSU with a 300 watt Sparkle.

      Re: Soyo SY-P4VGM Temp Question

      There is probably nothing wrong at all. Where are you reading the system temperature from?

      If it is from the motherboard reading then it is most likely quite off. The thermistors (or are they diodes?) on the motherboard vary in accuracy, especially when measuring the CPU temperature. What motherboard manufactures do is try to correct the reading a bit by performing a mathematical calculation on the reading. This should give a reading closer to the actual temperature, however sometimes it is still quite off.

      Usually a BIOS update fixes these kinds of small issues. That is if the thermistor is working properly and the reading is very off because of a bad adjustment of the temperature by the BIOS.

          Thanks for the reply, the reading is from the motherboard. I kind of thought that it was ok after researching it, but I wasnt sure. I will make sure that I have the most recent bios for the board.

              abit had a problem a while back where the CPU temp was listed 10oC higher than actual and a bios update fixed it.

                  Repair knowledge for -55c CPU temperature on AMD Ryzen CPUs in bios, the AMD Sideband temperature sensor interface (SB-TSI)
                  by Windows8RTMUser
                  Recently I came across an x570 Aorus Elite where the temperature in bios was reporting -55c, i had checked the CPU_TEMP line connected to the IT8688

                  In my particular case, the SIC line going to the X570 chipset (PM_SIC) was shorted to ground, so far disconnecting the 0 ohm resistors connecting APU_SID and APU_SIC to the chipset has fixed my -55c issue, it seems like -55c is the fallback reading for CPU_TEMP which is just pulled up to VREF on most gigabyte motherboards

                  I wanted to post this as even the ever-reliable vlab forum was stumped on this issue

                  Temperature to remove chips from motherboard
                  by asdas09
                  What temperature with the heat gun should be use to remove large and small chips from the laptop and mobilephones motherboard? My problem is that the chips not easily remove from the motherboard, example 380°C degrees. I don't know if there is a difference with the devices that the temperature is not stable with them even it shows the right temperature, what should it be? I don't know if I should use higher temperature but the risk of destroying other components?

                  I have device Sugon 202. I'm used also normal flux and rosin flux.

                  ISL95880HRTZ desoldering temperature
                  by Dreigas
                  Hello,

                  I bought from China ISL95880HRTZ (3+1+1 Voltage Regulator with Expanded ICCMAX Register Range Supporting IMVP8 CFL/CNL CPUs) chip, which I think is not the original one, but anyway, I tried to resoldering it with a 380C hot air station. Seems soldering is pretty good, but the laptop doesn't work (it worked before, but still had some problems with power delivery).
                  Is there any big chance, that they sent me two fake ISL95880HRTZ chips or did I just use too big temperature for desoldering? I will try with another chip, but I can't find any info about the maximum desoldering...

                  Magic chef oven - thermistor ref voltage issue
                  by Use2bavolvo
                  I am having an issue with my wall oven temperature control is ~180f out of spec. The thermistor is measuring correctly but I noticed the ref voltage appears to be off. With the thermistor wires attached it's reading ~3.4vdc with the thermistor disconnected it's around I9.8vdc. my understanding is the temp is read off the resistance from the thermistor which leads me to believe the issue is with the ref voltage.

                  Another observation is the temp setting and readout at lower temps is way off meaning the oven thinks room temp is 300f and bake relay doesn't engage unless temp setting...

                  9V relay temperature 40C
                  by jm1234
                  Hi, I'm seeing one 9V relay having temperature 40C on its 9V (primary) side. Does that seem right? I switched 2 relays on that board and the temperature was the same (on the same position), so I'm sure it's not a faulty relay. I measured voltage on that relay and it was 9.5V DC, so that looks good. I don't see any other relay on that board having that kind of temperature and they have 9V on them too.
                  I thought maybe the transistor that is switching this relay keeps switching on/off, so I also checked for AC and there was almost none: 0.3V using mV range. No steady frequency was shown, but...
