I finish the game the temp stays high and doesn't cool down. Do I have a faulty board? Is the CPU putting too much on the northbridge (doubt it). I haven't found anything on the northbridge temp reaching this high in the past few weeks I have searched....

However I checked the bios to confirm but noticed that my northbridge temp is at 57 degrees idle and southbridge is at 55 degrees idle. Northbridge rose to 68 degrees running Prime95 torture test (third one which overloads ram) after about 15 mins). Sorry...

heat output. A Northbridge cooler is recommended for most P35/X38 motherboards even if you are not changing the MCH voltage. Gigabyte motherboards with out Ultra Cool should have a small Northbridge fan ( I noticed a 8C drop in my motherboard temperatures once...

Noctua NH-U9F heatsink 1000rpm fan. GA-965P-DS3 Rev. 3.3, Noctua NC-U6 Northbridge Heatsink. Room temp : 25°C Northbridge temp : idle: 35°C, Load: 40°C CPU voltage set in BIOS : 1.425v CPU voltage seen in CPU-Z : 1.3825v on idle, 1.3844 on load CPU temp...

need to keep an eye on. Your Northbridge may be getting way to hot, you may want to check your temps there also. To save us both time, assume I know EVERYTHING :tongue: Is the Northbridge temp the Mainboard temp? The only temps recorded is the CPU and...

test temps. Bringing the CPU temp down will hopefully make a big difference, if it doesn't solve the problem fully then we'll look at Northbridge and Southbridge temps. Have a good weekend! :) Yeah, it's been on there since day 1. I will play with...

FSB Stock Fan/Cooler ASUS P4P800SE i865PE BIOS: Latest Beta Room Temp: 25 C CPU Idle Temp: 36 C Full Load: 47 C System Idle Temp: 40 C Full Load: 51 C i think your CPU and northbridge temps are backwards, it happens alot with temperature monitoring...

in my signature. Motherboard temp usually means Northbridge temp. You could direct air flow over the heat sink with an 80mm fan etc. I dont think my northbridge signals untill 52C with "Speedfan" northbrige or MB usually Temp 1 Here's the link for...
