Hi all,
I recently changed an i3-7100 by an i7-6700 and I placed a new videocard.
My motherboard is now running hotter than I can ever imagin.

can the motherboard handle such a temp or should I place extra fans ?

here my speccy-info:
Operating System
Windows 10 Pro 64-bit
CPU
Intel Core i7 6700 @ 3.40GHz 32 °C
Skylake 14nm Technology
RAM
16,0GB Dual-Channel Unknown @ 1064MHz
Motherboard
ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. H110M-A/M.2 (LGA1151) 119 °C
Graphics
4095MB NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti (ZOTAC International) 28 °C


thanks for the reply.
cheers, Louise
 
Hey there, What are you using to monitor the system temps? You might try HWInfo. This is the best 3rd party app for this.
Hi, Could be a false positive, as the cores (CPU) have low temp it is logically not correct.
I will try that. I used it before but I have used so many apps and there are new apps every day...
Thanks for the rep^ly I will let you know what the results are.

Cheers, Louise.

Hi,
I was too fast with my reply:
When I check with OpenHardwareMonitor, I get different readings:

Maybe this could be normal ?
