Are these temps for real?

I've had this Biostar TForce s939 motherboard for about...10 months, and I recall the aluminum heatsinks on it were always warm to the touch. I just installed SpeedFan for CPU temp monitoring as I've read it's better than CoreTemp, and here are the temps:

I then opened the case (120mm intake/exhaust) and touched them and they are HOT!

I'm assuming one is on the onboard video chipset which I'm not using (7600gt).

What should I do...what can I do?

speedfan fills in sensors it doesnt find with 120+ degrees Celcius, they are not valid, nor do they exist, simply disable them from showing.

if you touched a piece of metal thats 127 degrees C you would have burnt your finger, boiling point of water is approximately 100 degrees C ...

A couple of well placed intake/exhaust fans might cool down the chips you are finding to be hot to the touch, but the 127 c temps shown by speedfan are programed to look like that when they are not in use by the software.

You can click the configure icon and remove the 127 c readings.

Speedfan doen't measure northbridge temps as far as I know. I've never tried to set it to do that. Speedfan measures CPU, system, hard drives and cpu core temps. You have a Nforce 4 soc 939 MB as I do. I have 3 of them. Two running sli. Like the one I showed you is an FX55 in an ASUS A8N-SLI Premium MB running dual 7600GTs. The NF4 chips do tend to run hot. I have the A8N32-SLI Deluxe with the dual 16 x northbridge running dual 7800GT's. That thing is so hot! It is one of the hottest MB's made. Try and get some intake/ ehhaust fans to create better airflow in your case. That's what I did.

Are you using a video card or the onboard video? Like I said, I have a hard time cooling my socket 939 NF4 boards (yours is not nf4). My A8N32-SLI 939 drove me nuts trying to cool it. I used multiple case fans. I'll try and get a picture up later. You will be shocked at how I solved the cooling problem on that board.

My Speed Fan says the same thing 127C, your worrying about nothing. My heat sinks are hot to the point where if I leave my finger on them for two seconds, my finger gets hot. Nvidia chipsets tend to run hotter than Intel chipsets.

Thanks for all the info guys...call me a worry wart lol.

That is a crazy cooling setup! I guess I should mount a 120mm fan to the back of my hard disk bay and upgrade the 120mm intake fan. Maybe pull the CPU duct and add a fan there since the North Bridge? chip is below the CPU socket.

Thanks again.
