This is the motherboard that I have. Today, seemingly out of nowhere, I am seeing the socket temperatures (information from: HWMonitor) go much higher than I've ever seen before. The maximum that it has reached today, was 68'C. That isn't normal, 60-61 is about normal (under load, gaming, etc, not idling).
What is the safe maximum temperature for this motherboard? If anyone who sees this can answer that. I've seen various forum posts about similar boards, and boards in general say the safe temperatures range from 70'C - 80'C. Is that in the ballpark of being correct?
Secondly, does anyone have any idea why today, out of nowhere, these temperatures would be almost alarmingly high? It *IS* pretty warm in my room today (79'F, yikes! It's usually only 73-74'F in here), for some reason. I'm not sure why. Would a spike in ambient temperatures in my room be the cause?
It might be jumping the gun to be asking questions like this on the first day of this kind of behavior but I'm just kinda sitting here, so why not, eh?
