AUX Overheating

Daverick · 05-16-2008, 09:50 AM

Hey my computer kept randomly shutting down and then back on, so I downloaded SpeedFan and got the following readings:

System: 26C
CPU: 30C
AUX: 122C
HD0: 26C
Core0: 40C
Core1: 41C
Core: 42C
Ambient: 33C

These temperatures are at idle. I'm a bit afraid to test under load in fear of the AUX jumping up even more. How do I get the AUX's temp down? What is the AUX? I don't want my PC to blow up, please help

EDIT: Here are my PC specs:

Using a 700W Silverstone PSU, rest of the system specs can be found here: Building a Gaming Desktop :)

Okay so I downloaded SensorsView and tested it with that and came up with totally different results:

CPU: 42C
GPU: 42C
SYS: 0C
AUX: 27C
HD0: 27C
CPU Clock: 3000MHz

CPU Fan: 2071RPM (Stock E8400 Cooler)

Voltages:
VCoreA: 1.11V
+3.3V: 3.28V
+12V: 11.4 V

it's just a reading from where there is no sensor mine reads 165c
what does your bios list the voltages and tempretures as
the 12v+ line shows out of spec if the bios shows the same you need to check it with a multi meter and if it is the correct reading rma the power supply
