Gigabyte 990fx-ud3 (rev 4.0) temperatures?

Vince120 · Jan 19, 2014

What are you guys temperature?
My NB idle at 45.

clutchc · Jan 19, 2014

I've never had a MB that went higher than the upper 30Cs. Is the heat sync loose?
But I'll be getting that same MB delivered late tomorrow for a build I'm doing. I'll check temps when it is completed.

Vince120 · Jan 19, 2014

Yup, thanks for your reply, tell me your temps soon

45°C is well with in operating limits!

Vince120 · Jan 20, 2014

But this is idle, it reach easily 60 when gaming for within 15 minutes.

Sorry for the misunderstanding:

Here's my specs:
Mobo: 990fx-ud3 rev 4.0
CPU: AMD FX-8320
RAM: Some Elpida ddr3 at 1330mhz
Graphic: HD 7770
CX500
3 HDD 7200rpm
1 SSD
Windows 7 ultimate

The max temp for my cpu is 62*
My cpu when running prime95 is about 60* without overclock and its voltage is at 1.4v (stock), the fan is maxed out (stock), very noisy, it idle at 30*
My NB hit 60-65* after 10 min prime95

You might want to invest in an aftermarket cooler , the stock coolers on the FX 8320 and 8350 CPU's are noisy and not sufficient enough to cool the chips.

Let me correct a statement I made earlier. I was thinking of the south bridge. After going back and reading it correctly, I see it was the north bridge you are talking about. The NB does get hotter than the SB. In fact when stressed, the heat sync is uncomfortably hot to touch.

Vince120 · Jan 20, 2014

Hum I see, I am seeking as well an aftermarket cooler too, but what are your 990fxa-ud3 temps, clutchc?

Vince120 :

I'm still in the process of assembling the build. What were you using, HWMonitor? If so, TMPIN1?

Vince120 · Jan 21, 2014

I managed to get my Northbridge Idle temperature (TMPIN1) at 40 degree by undervolting my FX-8320 to 1.3V, I am still doubting about the temperature tough.

clutchc · Jan 22, 2014

I think you are worrying about nothing. I just ran some quick tests with my new Gigabyte 990fx-ud3 rev 4.0 board and a Phenom II X2 B59 (3.4GHZ). (I haven't ordered the FX-8350 yet). The TMPIN1 readings were:
Idle: 36C
Max: 50C (running Metro2033 benchmark)

Obviously with a 125W, more powerful processor like yours, the temps are bound to be higher.

Vince120 · Jan 22, 2014

Good Gawd, I think I am worrying too much my TMPIN1 is actually 42C while browsing Chrome, but anyway, thanks for helping

Hey I have a question, I installed windows 8 on a separate drive yesterday, I noticed that my temperatures dropped 10C on windows 8 when idle :O

clutchc · Jan 23, 2014

Vince120 :

Lol... I have no explanation for that. It may be just HWMonitor operates differently in Win8.

Vince120 · Jan 24, 2014

Oh I did not reinstall windows 7 when I switched my mobo and cpu.

clutchc · Jan 24, 2014

Vince120 :

You might check your Win7 and Win8 Control Panel/Power Options to see if they are both the same. That may explain the difference in idle temps.
