your mother board is over heating

[dracule]

man.. i am lucky to get below 60.. near impossible to get below 50 (unless i stick it in a freezer or a cold boot) so 46 doesnt sound too bad.

[.:BioHazard:.]

What motherboard is that?

[Dookie]

Asus P5N-E SLI

Fuck. So now what should i do? More fans? This is my first build so i need some ideas please.

Don't worry about it. Just like Dracule said, 46c isn't that hot. Adding fans never hurts but unless your case circulation is that bad, it wont make a huge difference. I thought that my NB/SM temps were getting high so I added a 120mm intake to the front and a 25cm fan to the side panel. The temps did drop but only by 2/3 c. You could take your side panel off, see if the temps do drop significantly. If they do drop a bit, then you could look at some fans.

Since the name got sli in it I assume it's a nvidia chipset in it. 46 C isn't that much for a nvidia motherboard they usually run pretty hot. The northbridge on my 780i some times hit up to 55 C even tho a got very good air flow in my case.

Yeah it has the 650i chipset i believe. if you want to check out my specs just look for my post here. I posted just about all my info there.

So then i should be good right guys? I dunno, i just got scared that the sucker would blow up on me or something. It's been running fine for about a month now with no problems so im guessing that puts me in the clear. :/

Yeah you should be fine. The first time I started PC Probe, I had a bunch of warnings going off. I just need to find out why my q9450 temps are so high. An average of 50c on idle is too high. I redid the thermal paste but no improvements. My guess is the IHS or my heat sink, isn't is flat as the are supposed to be.

45c is hardly overheating....
get some cable sleeving and tidy your cables up and perhaps an exhaust fan on the back to spit out hot air
