Motherboard at 112c!

[Harrygc00]

According to Speccy and CPUID my mobo is at a constant 112c? The CPU, GPU etc. are all fine. What can I do? And what are the effects that this can have on other components and performance etc?
I tried to check the mobo temp on my bios but I couldn't find anything. It doesn't feel extremely hot either, could this just be a mistake from the various monitoring softwares? I have seen other forums where people were getting faulty readings.

Specs (if needed): I7-4790K, gtx 960, 16gb ddr3 ram, Asus B85-PLUS mobo.

Hi,

is everything running ok ?
Did you overclock?

To double check I think asus has a tool to monitor their products.
you can download asus probe ii sense here foy your motherboard

Personally I think it's a bad reading

Firstly thanks for your response, I thought I was a lost cause.

Nothing is oc'd and I believe everything is running ok, I am just downloading a game now to see if it runs fine but from just downloading and browsing I can't see any obvious problems. The thing that worries me is that it's two programmes saying its at 112c.

I will just download the asus tool now. Sorry for being a bit dumb, but what exactly do I do once I have downloaded the probe ii? There are just a bunch of files and I'm not sure what to do with them, sorry. I'm a bit new to this, if you couldn't tell.

I don't think it is correct and if it really is at that temp then yes it can damage the motherboard and almost every other component based upon what specific place in the mobo is hitting that temperature. Turn your computer off before anything is damaged and use a phone or laptop to try to find a solution to the problem.

What programme would you guys use to screenshot an image so I can post it on here? The one I'm trying to use won't let me post it here.

I think you can just print screen the image or just save it and post it to the thread.
if u cant do it you can just highlight what it says and paste it into the thread also. they will both be fine.

Can you see the link I posted? Or did I do something wrong? I put it just above the post.

I have been touching the pc a bit (sounds weird now I type it..) and the mobo doesnt feel any hotter than the other components, if anything it's cooler.

According to Speccy and CPUID my mobo is at a constant 112c? The CPU, GPU etc. are all fine. What can I do? And what are the effects that this can have on other components and performance etc?
I tried to check the mobo temp on my bios but I couldn't find anything. It doesn't feel extremely hot either, could this just be a mistake from the various monitoring softwares? I have seen other forums where people were getting faulty readings.

Specs (if needed): I7-4790K, gtx 960, 16gb ddr3 ram, Asus B85-PLUS mobo.

So, I did a little bit of research on this board and looking at newegg's customer reviews... https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131996
It looks like a lot of people were having trouble with this board. It looks like one on those hit or miss boards to me. So either, a particular point on your motherboard is hitting that temperature... or your motherboard is just a little faulty. I suspect the latter, but maybe check near the points where you installed the main heat emitters, your CPU & GPU. And maybe even near the capacitors... But oh boy, if it is anywhere near a capacitor... Gently keep the board down, take whatever precious stuff that's attached to the board off of it... and don't ever plug it back in.

But I really do think that it's just the motherboard giving faulty readings. If it is of concern to you, try to RMA it.

But I have had it for almost 6 months working fine? So you think that it's just a mobo that gives bad readings, that I shouldn't be concerened? What do you mean by check the points of the CPU and GPU, like touch the mobo near them and see if its' very hot?

I touched around the capacitors and the CPU and GPU and it didn't feel very hot, again the graphics card itself felt hotter, which is meant to be at 45c, so do you reckon that it's just a board with faulty readings?

I was also playing OW for around 5 mins and it was performing fine.

If your motherboard was anywhere near 112C then your hands would've felt the heat before you even touched it. Considering the fact that the you played OW for some time and have been using it for 6 months without any problems I doubt it's actually at a 112C. Again, you wouldn't be able to even hold on to it for even 5 seconds if it was. It's most likely just a faulty motherboard. If you are concerned and you want to get it checked you could contact your retailer and maybe just ask for RMA. Though if you have installed windows OEM on it, you'll have to buy a new license... or get something settled with your retailer. But facts, you touched the areas of the motherboard most likely to be heated, and you said it was cooler than the GPU. So the motherboard is definitely not anywhere near 100+C temperatures. Also, these cases of motherboard temperatures have occurred before, though it was mainly with AMD chipset motherboards and external software...

Also... maybe go into your BIOS and check the temperature of your motherboard? And if there's no reading about the motherboard's temperature there, it's possible that your motherboard doesn't have a temperature sensor and is thus making those programs your running display those temperatures you're seeing.

EDIT: If your motherboard has the required hardware, i.e., if Asus AI Suite 3 is compatible with your motherboard, you can run that too to see if that fixes your problem.

Firstly, sorry about the late reply. I looked at the BIOS and there was no mobo temp, I don't think the Asus AI Suite 3 is compatible with my motherboard. I tried to download it however it said no content was available.

It has been working 'fine' for almost 6 months now, with Speccy being able to monitor it's temps just fine. Would it just kind of mess up now as I had to reset my PC? The performance (in OW at least) has been fine.

As for the software reading the temps correctly till now... I don't really know, but I'd just assume that it's a common problem with the programs that try to read it's temperature or the motherboard itself (The reset could potentially be the reason for this???). A quick google shows a lot of questions on Tom's Hardware of others having the same issue with ASUS mobo's. It's nothing really to be worried about. You're not having any performance issues, so yes, you're good!

Ah ok, well thanks for all the help. I also converted 110 Fahrenheit into Celsius and it's around 43c, so could it be that it's just not converting it correctly or something like that?

Ah ok, well thanks for all the help. I also converted 110 Fahrenheit into Celsius and it's around 43c, so could it be that it's just not converting it correctly or something like that?

Wait... I thought you said speccy was reading it at 112C ??? Did you just convert it simply to see if it was maybe a conversion error or is speccy showing 122F? And if it is... 43C is a decent temperature. I'm assuming you just did the conversion to check for maybe a conversion error or some sort? But it was also reading your temperatures fine before...
Not sure why, but if it's 43C then that's not bad. It could be a conversion error, though I do doubt it... But it's safe to assume that your motherboard is not at high temperatures.

No Speccy is showing it as Celsius I just converted it. So everything should be fine then and it's mostly likely to be just a mistake?

Yes, I can almost guarantee that this is just the program reading the temperature wrongly. (Or... It is interesting you found that those temps, if they were in farenheit, actually give a sort of correct description of the temperature.) I really wouldn't be too worried but if you are really concerned about this, go ahead and contact your retailer and make sure that it is nothing to worry about.
