So I have a GA-MA779-UD3 mobo installed, system is stable, no wierd smells etc. Clean install of windows with the new MB. Memory installed in dual channel configuration. BIOS revision is F4. System has no overclocking, all speeds are factory settings.
Howerver the temperatures as reported in the speedfan confuse me. I'm getting three listings called Temp 1-3 that I assume are the chipset temps.
However, the one listed at "Temp 3" is always pegged at 80degrees C. It never goes higher or lower. The other two temps always report in 40-50 C. Opening Easy Tune 6 reports the "system" temp to run at bout 40C when idle, the same as the temp reported in speedfan as Temp1. Again all the other temperatures fluctuate with load.
In BIOS after doing a hard reset and pulling up bios after say, running a 3D game (so as not to give the chips time to cool) and "CPU" and "System" both report at safe temperatures.
I can touch the NB chipset heat sink and its warm, but hardly 80C hot. Its somewhat loose on its mounting, but appears to be mounted with springs, not screws or clamps. SB heatsink is generally cool to the touch. I would think if the NB heatsink were loose, it would be cool to the touch.
Also starting speed fan causes my USB hard drive attached the system to become non-responsive and only recovers after a hard reset. Makes me wonder if the program refuses to interface properly with the BIOS.
Should I be worried? Or is speed fan just not like my MB? Again my system is entirely stable, and I've seen no weirdness of any kind.
