[SOLVED] Motheroard temp?

musicistabest · 05-07-2008, 03:30 PM

Hi I just want to ask is 50 degrees hot for a motherboard or not if it is what should I do because I can't add anymore fans to the computer case.

Is the 50c for at-rest or when you are putting the rig under-stress when you took that reading? What method did you use to get that reading? What are the specs of the rig so we know what normal is for that CPU and motherboard?

I suggest you download and run SensorviewPro and see what it tells you. Do try it when first put on and then after playing a game and report back with temps and voltages.

no its not under stress its not really working because I am not using it.

I am rather confused by your answer. Please clarify so I know exactly what you are saying about the temperature. How did you check it and what program or programs were you working with when you cheked it?

What I mean is I am not using the computer its on though I am in the kitchen and I come back and my temperature is about 50 degrees I am using speedfan sensor view.

That is called at-rest since it is not be used for example like playing a game. Yes, 50c is hot for a computer that is at-rest. Tell us what fans you have, where they are located, which direction they are blowing. Also, might be a good idea to list the specs of the computer, so we know how hot this rig is supposed to run. Some run naturally hotter than others do.

No I haven't been playing a game and my computer is right next to a vent and its cold air going though the computer.
