My motherboard has been overheating when playing league of legends? Not sure if motherboards can overheat but when playing games my motherboardboard goes up to 78 Degrees Celcius but when out of games it runs around 40-50 Degrees celcius. I recently just got my fans cleaned could this be the problem? I also use a ASUS Desktop PC CG5275 with a Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 CPU. Also i cannot figure out what my motherboard is.

wich software are you using to mesure ?
sometimes they go with wrong readings, anyway did you have any real issue like random resets or something ?

I am using Razer Game Booster for my things but I do hear my fan spinning hard when playing so it might be right?

1-Check if CPU fan is well placed, also cheap heat sink upgrade is a good idea for any gaming PC, much better than stock cooler.
2-You most check out your bios configuration, maybe you are doing an OC by mistake due to bad config, so see if everithing is ok on setup,for instance (Vcore).
3-Also checking temps on here(setup)is better, cause sometimes software read mistakenly the temperatures.
4-make sure you have good case air flow avoiding the heat gets trapped in the case instead of being blown out...
5-Also check your PSU voltage regulation, remember the +12v rail has a 5% up and down tolerance, so you never can get more than 12.6v reading on that rail

The fans you are hearing are CPU and GPU fan's.


Thank you it is not my motherboard that is overheating. But my CPU does vary up to the 100 Cs when playing is that back? I have a Intel Core i5 CPU


Yes it is somewhat worrying factor, 70-80 C is ok but 100 C is not.
Check the CPU is properly seated or not. And apply some thermal paste. All will be fine.

Where could you find thermal paste and where do you use it, I'm not sure how to repair computers and dont think I can repair it somewhere mostly because my grandma is shortage on money.

Ok, thermal paste is really cheap in price. It should be applied between the CPU and HSF(Heat Sink Fan). You can find it on local computer store or can buy online. The most important thing is to apply it properly and to make sure the HSF is fitted properly over the CPU.

Consult your MB and CPU manual on how to remove and replace the HSF, or see some video on YouTube. You don't have to remove the CPU.

Here is a link of thermal paste : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168... if you want to buy online.
