Typical Motherboard temperature for ASUS

[Bob0399]

is this working

 

[Bob0399]

I just want to say, I got a asus m2a-vm motherboard, with quad 4 phenom 9850, 4gb ram, extra big superfan on CPU, as well as big chassis fan blowing out the back, and I still get cpu temps of 39c, and motherboard temps of 40-42c.....So I took both sides off case, and am blowing a small 6inch fan into the case...I now get cpu temps of 30-31c and motherboard temps of 36-37c...All temps at "idle"...
Just for your info.....

I can't seem to find a definitive answer from AMD or ASUS of what a safe operating range is for temperatures on these products, but I suspect 40-45 would not be considered "unsafe". I have tried about 5 or 6 different monitoring programs...they all give basically the same results (plus or minus 2-3 degrees)

Just to add my two cents worth.....Bob

my asus m3n72-d runs at about 38C idle and 45 under full load

All I can add to this - after spending about a week watching temps - is do not use ASUSProbe for anything.

Get CoreTemp, RealTemp and Everest and determine your CPU temps from there. Some of you are mentioning 20c for your CPU with stock cooler under ASUSProbe? That's room temp and cannot be real.


Here's what you believe to happening...

"My CPU is always between 28-33 degrees Celcius (I am using stock cooling) "

Here's what's really happening:

"I also used a program called Core Temp, but they reported temperatures in the 50C's where as my Asus Probe program currently hovers around 29-31C for my Q6600. "

The "50" are more what I expected to see...especially with the stick cooler. My stock cooler with a Q6600 was 59C at idle. I threw it in the garbage and bought an Arctic Colling Freezer Pro. I now idle at 45C

Any of the Intel chips in this thread will be at a minimum of say 35C or more when measured with one of the above. Actually - if your CPU is even close to 35C @ idle - consider yourself very lucky. 40C+ is more the norm - and that is idle - especially for a quad core.

This seems like a good place for some help:

I've got a P5Q3 mobo I just installed. Asus Probe 2 is reporting the temperature around 130 degrees f (about 54 c) with the tower closed up, and around 120 degrees f (about 50 c) with the tower open. Both temperatures are giving me a heat warning on Probe.

The only thing running other than Firefox at this point is the formatting of a 1 T drive. But even with the format cancelled, the temperature stayed pretty consistent.

My other specs:

Motherboard ASUS P5Q3
Hard Drive Western Digital WD3200KSRTL
Hard Drive Seagate Ultra ATA/100 1tb
Processor Intel Q6600
Video Card BFG Tech GeForce 9800 GTX+
Power Supply Corsair TX650W
RAM Corsair XMS3
Optical Drive IPSG PIO 18x DVDRW

I have experience at idol w/.XP 2 gigs of Ram almost what u have but running a raptor and a 939 dual core 6gig AMD CPU. Temp between 98F TO 104F at idol. This temp mostly run in the 98F range. Sometimes lower. Contribute to a 120mm Cpu copper core round fin cooler,120mm side case fan and 3 80MM case fans. One front 2 back with a full tower. I have now gone to Vista Ultimate. Changed my sound card and added 2 gigs of Ram making it 4 gigs. I do have very few issues with Vista Ultimate 64bit. I have found out it is all about what works best with your system and most of the time that is "upgrade hardware."!

hy,

i Asus P5B-E-PLUS mb ,,,, with 2 x 120 mm cooler on ANTEC SLK3000B case
with Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 1866 MHz cpu .... 5 sata, 2 ide hdd and 1 dvd

for me it shows:
CPU: 31 C
MB: 28 C

One more thing. Do NOT mount the motherboard inverted. Some cases have the PSU on the bottom of the case so you have to mount your motherboad upside down. This can cause cooling issues with the heatpipes as they will not "wick" properly. I think this is common with most mobo's that are using lots of heatpipes these days.

I contacted ASUS via email and they stated that mounting inverted is highly discouraged.

Cheers

Preecher i know this thread is old but i could not help myself when i seen this comment by you...tell us how does one install the mobo upside down?i have the striker extreme with a core 2 extreme QX9650 oc'd@4.2 8gb mushkin ram oc'd@ 1066 and radeon 5970 oc'd@ 940\5300 with antec 900 two case (power suplly in the bottom) it would be next to impossible to invert the mobo as you have stated for 1 you would need to run your extrenal connection on the back panel inside the case as those ports would be facing the HDD cages and 2 well it don't make any sense what soever to even concieve of doing sush a thing, the whole point of the psu on the bottom of the case is for those that are using a psu with a 120mm fan and in some case a 120mm and a 60 or 80mm fan the 120mm pulls hotair down from the vga and cpu (mostly vga) card and pushes it out the rear of the fan. So i am not sure where you got the idea you needed to invert your mobo to use these types of high end gaming cases but you have been seriously misled my friend.The only trouble you will find that is common with these cases are PSU's that have long enough cableing to properly route them behind the mobo due to the lenght, eg buy a modular psu made for bottom mount.
Hope that clarifies that for you.

Hi guys !

I have an ASUS P5KPL-AM EPU motherboard. I've got an Intel Dual Core E 6300 2.8 GHz. DDR 2 RAM 800 MHz. Radeon HD 6850. 600 W OCZ power supply.

My ASUS AI Suite and PC Probe are showing my motherboard temperature as 45* C. And the threshold according to stock settings in the PC Probe were 45* C for the motherboard which is why it was sounding an alarm. Is 45 * C high for my motherboard ?
Why is it at 45 * C ? Anybody got any ideas ? I'm reading people having temps as low as 30 * C.

And how can I find out what my motherboard threshold is ? Can't seem to find a max value in the manuals. Anybody know ?

I'm planning to overclock my CPU so I need to know what the threshold is so that I can keep everything in check and not fry something.

Thanks !
