Jetway MA3-79GDG combo motherboard
Phenom II x3 720
2x2gb DDR3
Galaxy GTX260 896mb (comes as standard with three fans)
Tagan 500w PSU
500gb SATA
4x8cm fans - front 2x intake, rear 2x exhaust (old fans, maybe 5yrs)
Old Mid Tower
Vista 32bit
Not overclocked.
Bios Temps
NB case temp 47c
temp 3 35c (i assume this is CPU)
MyGuard (temp software that came with motherboard)
CPU 44c
Sys temp 75-80c
Speed Fan
GPU 46c
HD0 38c
Core 30c
SIS Sandra
Motherboard 80c
I have had two crashes, one while playing crysis, the other while checking stuff online.
The above temps are not after gaming, but after a restart on a low CPU load.
It is pretty hot where I live, but these crashes/temps are late night, not middle of the day
The motherboard has no fans - all heat sinks.
Faulty motherboard?
Bad motherboard design?
Old fans?
Old case?
The CPU does not seem to be too hot, but the motherboard temp is concerning me.
I don't really have space to put more fans in my current case.
Should I have built a new system with a new case (ie top mounted fan etc)
Replace my tired old fans with new ones? (they are moving, I checked)
I dont want to spend money, but if I have to get a new case, then I will, but I want
to make sure that whatever I spend my cash on will solve the problem.
thanks
