from 1600 mhz to 2400 mhz instantly???

[TheWrath]

ok so im using Ai suite that came with my asus board and it says that my fsb speed is randomly spiking to 2400 mhz when it normal stays at 1600 what could be causing this because my mobo is getting really hot!?

your like the 5th person to ask this in the past week... READ STICKIES

ur fine don't worry about it, yes it's getting hotter, but thats what processors do. they get hot
intel speedstep lowers the clock to conserve energy and heat

its not my processor its my board it my procesor stay at like 43c idle but my board is at 41 idle and like 45, 46 load

 

[TheWrath]

ok so why is my board at 41c at idle?

The CPU-Clock-Eater monster is Back!!! It will kill your CPU unless you read the stickies!!!
About the temp, err... what was your mobo again?

 

[TheWrath]

whats a sticky and i have the asus p5q

 

[jaywalker256]

this is just my $0.02, but chipsets get hot.... thats a fact. and on every motherboard i've ever had the chipset is usually a bit warmer than 40c or so.... so i dont think you need to worry about your chipset (aka motherboard sensor) when its only at 46c load.... because thats not a bad temp.

 

[TheWrath]

so it means nothing that pc probe to had its default threshold temp at 45c?

 

[TheWrath]

well pc probe II says that my motherboard default threshold temp is 45, thats the same as chipset temp right?

Read The Whole Frigging Manual.

ok i skimmed it and saw nothing that would help my cause

this is the last time i will explain this.

your motherboard will not fry in the 40s celcius. if it could fry that easily. we would be hearing about motherboards having a meltdown on a daily basis.

your intel processor is using speedstep. running 1600mhz on idle and running 2400mhz on load. this has nothing to do with front side bus (FSB). the processor will get hotter when it is on load and in use. also, your harddrive temperature will be raising when it's in use. so both of these factors or any other factors could affect your overall motherboard temperature.

just make sure you have enough air flow in your computer case and everything should be running smoothly. also, motherboard sensors are not 100% accurate. it could be displaying a few celcius higher or lower than what it really is.

your computer seems perfectly normal. just leave it at that.
