Motherboard overheating sky high

[nick1200]

Has you can see my cpu is cool and gfx card is super cool but the motherboard is hot when i load up a browser the motherboard hits 70c when i load a game it turns off ive been told its the cpu but has u can see the cpu is cool then got told its the vrm i added the heatsinks to them but still hot

That board was never meant to run those hot cpus. Take your side panel off and aim a fan at the capacitors nearest the CPU socket and see if that helps. That board is notorious for overheating the vrms (power delivery to the CPU) and either throttling or shutting down.


What PSU do you have by the way?

 

[nick1200]

I have 8 huge fans 3 in the top which is ontop of the cpu one in the back 2 inside the case 1 in the bottom of the case and 2 in the front of the case. I have a bequiet 1000w power supply which is around 2 years old the board and cpu is 4 years old i believe this hot flushes only just started happening the last few weeks

May have finally toasted the vrms then. You had ample cooling to keep them from throttling but the capacitors may have finally given out. Try aiming a fan directly where I mentioned above to see if it helps but I think most likely it's toast at this point

i did use a hair dried on cold didn't make no difference . I aimed it at the bottom right of the board and it went down by 2c

 

[Supahos]

No you want it aimed at the capacitors closest to the CPU socket.

 

[nick1200]

yes i aimed it there and didnt do nothing.

Dont worry as much about the temps fire up a game and see if it still shuts down

 

[nick1200]

it does I was netflixs it shuts down i play a game and it shuts down the game si play you need to wait to find a a match once it find a a match if u leave it bans you for playing for a day or 2 Im banned most of the time haha.I thought maybe the temp senior was faulty or something i dont understand how the cpu is cool but board is hot if the board was being heated up by the cpu? I removed the cpu and resat it etc no different

 

[Supahos]

The board isn't being heated by the CPU. The board is being heated by supplying more power than it was designed for to the CPU.

Do you have an overclock on the CPU? Drop it down below stock and see if it get any better about crashing. Perhaps even undervolt the cpu as much as you stably can

i have a cool and quiet function on my board which sets my cpu to 2ghz from 3.1 i turned that on and still crashes also when im on here the screen will turn off and go orange led but pc still running?? It some times turns off and some times turns the screen off but pc still runs i then turn pc off by the button and try and turn it back on but it will power up but no display i need to leave it off for a few mins then will power up...
