Motherboard temps safe?

[Guest]

I have an ASRock H81m-HDS with a gigabyte windforce GTX 950 running on it.

In my older, compact case I only remember seeing a maximum of 61c on something called TMPIN3. That was with my GTX running at 80c, it runs cooler now. All the other mobo parts were registering cooler than this (HWmonitor)

Someone who knows motherboards, can you advise on whether this is bad or not?

Eh that's pretty hot . I usually keep my mobo under 60C and anything over isn't really the safest

That is only what showed for TMPIN3 all the others were lower

What monitor are you using ?

Try with onboard graphics(remove the gpu altogether).

HWmonitor by CPUID

Also most my other temps hang between the 48-57 degree range at full load. Haven't tested them in the new case but bound to be lower.

Why would I remove my graphics card? It has to be able to run with that thing in, or bust.

What I want to know is, does TMPIN3 actually represnet a crucial and temp sensitive part? My SYSTIN and stuff were registering all below 60

To make sure it's not a sensor on your gpu pcb. i may be very wrong here, tho..

I'll run prime95 so that it stress tests without the GPU under any demand

Alright, to answer both of you:

I did a new thermals test in my new case + layout as those results were from my old case.
Test was done in a very warm room so it's a good representation of max temps.

For a CPU-only test, TMPIN3 got to 57-58 degrees celcius but did not move from there. All other values were very low 50's or below.

For a heavy gaming test, TMPIN3 again did not go above 57-58 degrees and motherboard sensors showed similar results to the first test.

For both tests the CPU sat at between 55-60c, and the graphics card never broke the 68c barrier.

Glad to say all my thermals are in order.

None of the motherboard temperatures went above 60 degrees with most staying below 50c, including TMPIN3 which was 57 maximum.

UPDATE:
TMPIN3 managed to get up to 63c but usually sat at 61 during my CPU-only re-test. This was also strange due to the fact that the CPU and TMPIN3 temps were usually very similar. Looked at the other mobo sensors, they actually aren't even breaking 40 degrees.
