Overheating motherboard, geeze

Ok so I just built a new system, I bought CPU/MoBo/RAM/Video Card

Now Im not sure but it seems my CPU temp is great but the MB temp keeps reaching 45 Cel and the Asus PC probe keeps alarming.

Im not overclocking and I bought a extra fan. The case is cheap, but it has vent holes in side pannels, and I have a Thermaltake TR2 PSU with two fans. plus the case fan I bought, then of cource the stock CPU fan from Intel.

CPU: 49 Cel
Mobo: 44 Cel

and just one more degree on MB sensor and alarm will sound.

CPU is full load with chessmaster, Pdf file, web browser and internet radio. What should I do about the overheating mobo?

Hi, and WELCOME to PCTT!!

You haven't mentioned your MB brand and model, but from mentioning Asus PC Probe I assume it's ASUS. Then probably your chipset cooler is not OK... can you locate and change it with a better one. Many people have been complaining about faulty fans on ASUS mobos (I think there was an old nForce2 model that had a whole revision with a faulty fan).

Sorry, here are the specks:

Mobo: Asus P5VDC-MX Socket 775
CPU: Intel Celeron D 336 2.8GHz
RAM: Kingston 512MB DDR 400
Video: Asus Geforce 6200 128MB AGP (in for RMA)

1 HDD, 1 CDRW, 1 DVD-ROM, 1 FDD

Power supply is Thermaltake TR2 w0070 430W, has two quiet fans, one intake one exhaust.

I installed a Zalman 80mm Fan for extra cooling

The mobo has no fans other then stock heatsink fan for the CPU, but CPU temp is good, its only mobo temp that my concern, but is 45 deg a concern, im new to this since my previous system was old and could not measure temps.

See the pic below.... what I circled in red is what overheats probably. Put your finger on it, when the PC is in full load (100%) and see how it feels. Usually the human body is the best thermo-meter. :-). It could be your mobo sensors returning bad values as temperatures (seen alot of these, especially Gigabyte's MB - have you seen a CPU that runs just fine at 120 degrees). If not, you can just find a way to put a small fan on the chipset cooler.

Good luck

Angry New CEO

A fellow had just been hired as the new CEO of a large high tech corporation. The CEO who was stepping down met with him privately and presented him with three numbered envelopes. "Open these if you run up against a problem you don't think you can solve," he said.  Well, things went along pretty smoothly, but six months later, sales took a downturn and he was really catching a lot of heat. About at his wits's end, he remembered the envelopes. He went to his drawer and took out the first envelope. The message read, "Blame your predecessor."  The new CEO called a press conference and tactfully laid the blame at the feet of the previous CEO. Satisfied with his comments, the press -- and Wall Street -- responded positively, sales began to pick up and the problem was soon behind him.  About a year later, the company was again experiencing a slight dip in sales, combined with serious product problems.  Having learned from his previous experience, the CEO quickly opened the second envelope. The message read, "Reorganize." This he did, and the company quickly rebounded.  After several consecutive profitable quarters, the company once again fell on difficult times. The CEO went to his office, closed the door and opened the third envelope.  The message said, "Prepare three envelopes."---------------------------------------------------------------------------------We offer WOTLK Power Leveling and World of Warcraft Powerleveling, enjoy best service:cheap wlk Power Leveling, wlk power leveling,wlk power leveling,wlk power leveling, Buy Cheap WoW Power Leveling
