I'm not sure if this the correct board since I'm doubting if the problem is CPU or Video Card, I have a problem, which I can't seem to identify what could it be, my upper video card always seem to have high temperature issues, they go as the following:
First slot: Iddle 63Cº Load 73-76Cº
Second slot: Iddle 42Cº Load 54Cº
My processor temperature: Iddle 46º Load 59-61º (it goes jet speed really loud)
Neither the CPU or GPU are overclocked.
The video cards with the stock coolers they had before, I noticed the first card was always the hottest.
I never checked the CPU temperature with the GPU stock cooler since the sound was camuflaged with both video cards turbo engine.
My computer specs:
2x Radeon HD4870 1GB (Both using aftermarket cooler since they were noisy "Scythe MUSASHI Copper Heatpipe")
Corsair DHX 4 GB (2 X 2 GB) 240-PIN DDR2 800 MHz Dual-Channel
Cooler Master Real Power Pro Series 850W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Certified CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS
GIGABYTE GA-MA790GP-UD4H Socket AM2+/ AMD 790GX/ DDR2-1200/ A&V&GbE/ ATX Motherboard
AMD HDX920XCGIBOX Phenom II X4 920 2.8GHz Cache 8MB AM2+ 125W Processor (Using stock cooler)
Now my issue is, at first I thought I might have one of the cards with a dud cooler or it was bad installed, redid it but the problem persisted, and to my surprise both cards get the same temperatures as long as they are on the first slot (the second one is always running cool on both cards as long as they are on the second slot), I tried replacing the case with one with better airflow which I thought it might be the problem, fairly larger than the previous one I had, better airflow (2 side fans, one large front fan and 2 back fans. The cables are hidden on the back of the case so there's literally no cable mess on the case, and the result had no improvement on the temperatures
Now my question is, could it be posible that the video card is absorbing the CPU heat? I'm using the AMD stock cooler, would replacing it with a aftermarket cooler such as Scythe KATANA 3 SCKTN-3000 drop both the CPU temperature and video card temperature or any other aftermarket CPU cooler?
