system hotter than cpu
ok whats the deal he
bios stats system temp: 46c/114f cpu surface temp: 38c/100f cpu core temp: 42c/107f hardware doctor system 46 cpu 38.00 - 38.50 system is: Zalman cnps 7000A-Cu *copper* Barton 2500+ WEEK 33 (unlocked) 3200 ddr 400 512 ATI 9800 PRO 128mb 60gb Maxtor 160gb Maxtor Plexwriter (12X1032) AND (52X32X52) NSpire 300w Chen Ming ATX-601 AE case |

Are there any fans in it? The two hard disks plus the 9800 Pro dissipate a lot of heat that has to be extracted. You should have one or two fans blowing into the case and one on top of the psu fan(s) extracting the hot air from the case. |

You should have one or two fans blowing into the case and one on top of the psu fan(s) extracting the hot air from the case. My sysoft sandra confuses the system and cpu readings - ie they're swapped. Could be your problem. Does the system temp rise quickly from cold? This might indicate same thing happening. |

i have 3 case fans blowing in (one in front bottom 2 in back and the
case side off with these temps |

EzAk wrote: i have 3 case fans blowing in (one in front bottom 2 in back and the case side off with these temps My system and cpu temperature was hotter with the side off. My system and cpu temperature was hotter with the fans blowing in instead of out. My coolest temp was achieved with all cooling fans pulling hot air out of the case. My core voltage is set at 1.9V and my fsb is set at 212 and my idle temp on the cpu is 47C with fully loaded usually going to 56 or so. Roger |

I have a similar situation when my PC is idling but that is due to the fact that my mobo thermistor is situated directly in the warm exhaust from the graphics card fan. -- ~misfit~ |

What motherboard do you have? It could be a bios issue of it not displaying
the temps correctly. Maybe the system temp is actually the core temp. My first thought is you have something really hot right next the the system temp sensor, but if you have three fans that's probably unlikely. It could be the sensor is next to the mobo chipset and you have the FSB crank to overdrive and the thing is getting real hot.

running no overclocking right now. mobo is ABIT AT7 MAX2 with latest
bios update. not sure where the termistate on this board is ill have to try to locate it tomarrow when i have some light. thanks for all your help. Is there a diffrent program i can use to see if the temps are reversed? |

Is there a diffrent program i can use to see if the temps are reversed? Looking at the specs of this board it appears that the sys temp sensor is between the cpu and the northbridge, I wonder if it is picking up the hot air from the cpu fan? -- Mark Twixt hill and high water.

But the air coming off the heatsink cannot be hotter than the cpu (otherwise
it would heat the cpu not cool it). The cpu must always be hotter than the case air temp (unless your water or Refrigeration cooling or such like) -- *****Replace 'NOSPAM' with 'btinternet' in the reply address***** "baskitcaise" wrote in message ...
