CPU and MB temprature too high??

At 47C the case should be very warm to the touch. it could be just a localized temp around the sensor. As an example, when I installed 4 PCI HDTV tuners my case temps shot up past 70C. and that was because the case sensor is at the back of the MB right in between the 4 tuners, and they do get hot. Not wanting my tuners to fail prematurely, I mounted a case fan on the side cover blowing into them and that brought the case temps down to around 35C and it also keeps the tuners cooler. If you don't have a bunch of cards in your system, then you've got some kind of problem even if it's an inaccurate sensor reading. I assume you have at least one of the case fans as an intake fan, as the PSU fan is already an exhaust fan. All intake fans should be mounted low and all exhaust fans should be mounted higher. I've got 1 intake fan on the lower front, another low over the PCI slots. I then have 1 exhaust high on the back panel and of course the PSU exhaust fan. That keeps the airflow even, which is important. -- Want the ultimate in free OTA SD/HDTV Recorder? http://mythtv.org http://mysettopbox.tv/knoppmyth.html Usenet alt.video.ptv.mythtv My server http://wesnewell.no-ip.com/cpu.php HD Tivo S3 compared http://wesnewell.no-ip.com/mythtivo.htm |
