Hello,
Having high temperatures of motherboard on monitors and have no idea what can be wrong.
Motherboard is asus h81m-plus, even after flashing bios i have motherboard temperatures on idle over 100C, temperature are the same on stress load aswell...
What could be wrong?
 
Solution


No the MB is just cheap and has no sensors to monitor the temps of the MB. If his MB was actually getting that hot his computer wouldn't even be turning on. It's faulty reading from the software he uses. I have seen it a million times. That's why I told him to do the touch test cause if it is that hot he won't be...
well i have touched motherboard while system running using sterile gloves, didnt notice anything warmer than my fingers, just i disappointed i bought worse board than i could buy for 80 $
 
You don't have to use gloves to touch your MB lol. Reason I said to touch it is because if it really is hitting 100 C thats 212 F and you would definitely not be able to touch that at all and your whole computer would be smoking.
