Well, my CPU, Video Card and MB are all running fine for temps, but I'm still rather concerned, here's why.
I built this computer not too long ago, as a temporary solution for my previous computer, which was rather useless. My video card would not transfer over to the new computer, either it magically died (I handled it properly) or would simple not run in the mobo, so I set everything up and installed things off onboard graphics, as a friend said he could bring me free video card the next day.
What has me mostly worried, is that while using onboard graphics, GPU-Z as well as GPU Observer clocked the onboard graphics running at 84c idle. Since then I've been very worried as the computer smells like something is running too hot.
CPU - 44c idle / 50c load (I'll be mounting 2 120mm fans on the back of the drive bays of the Coolermaster HAF XM I have, I'd prefer it running cooler.)
Video Card - Usually mid 50s while gaming, not worried.
MB - Usually about the same as the CPU, sometimes a degree or two cooler. Will be better once I get those fans.
With the Video Card in, I can't seem to check the onboard's temp, but I'm still worried, despite even knowing if the original temperature reading of it was correct.
Thermal paste is all fine.
All heatsinks are properly in place.
Voltages were all fine last I checked.
My house is rather hot, it tends to take what ever temperature is outside and magnify it, as it'll also freezing in the winter. However case is getting good air floor, air being pushed out is not hot, and all components on and in the motherboard seem to be running at ok temps, it's the smell + the onboard gpu reading that have me worried. The smell could be a simple as the case having a bottom mounted power supply, however I would like to know one way or another if there's risk of damage.
Finally the computer itself is:
Asus M3N-HT Deluxe
Phenom II 940BE x4 (Running stock 3ghz)
HD5700 series (5770 I believe, might be 5750, don't remember at this point, and everything just lists it as 5700 series)
6GB DDR2 800
750W PSU, Stealth X Stream brand I believe.
Advice/Do's/Don't's if you would please?
