So I had this Gigabyte GA-970A-DS3 for a little bit, about 2 months. And I've noticed some temperatures issues.
I usually let me computer run all day and night, since I have a rather small hard drive and a limitless internet bandwidth I just delete and redownload games and movies when needed so I download them while I sleep or work.
So pretty much I can't remember when is the last time my computer has been closed for more then 10 minutes (excluding the regular dust removal).
It was never an issue before with my old motherboard which was also a Gigabyte 970 but an earlier model, the other one had some water on it due to a little flooding accident so I had to change everything.
What I am curious about is why is the motherboard running so much higher than everything else ? I do not have water cooling, hell I only have basic fans they gave with the case and my cpu but somehow my AMD FX-8350 runs at about 27 celcius while my motherboard runs at around 60 when not doing anything and 80 when I have been playing games for about 4-5 hours ? CPU never goes hotter than 30 and my graphic card stays at around 40-50 which is normal when under load hell I think it is pretty good, I've seen worse.
So question is, why is my motherboard so high compared to everything else and is it normal to be that way ? I have tried 7 different temp reading software and they all tell me the exact same temperatures.
I should also state that nothing is currently overclocked or was overclocked, never had to.
