I have an Albatron PX845PEV Pro with a 2.4b. I'm getting Temp2, which is suppose to be the CPU, readings in the 70C's idle. Temp1 and Temp3 are in the 30C's.

Either the Temp2 reading is inaccurate or I installed my heatsink wrong. I know of at least one other person that posted on the board about this, so I doubt that both of us installed our heatsinks wrong, but I would like confirmation from other users.

Mobo BIOS is 1.09 and Speedfan version is 4.07.

I have the Albatron PX845PEV PRO as well and Speedfan is reporting a temp of 69C idle on temp2.
It's freakin me out a bit but the bios is reading a system temp of 40C and CPU of 33C ?

Did you find any resolve ?

as afr as i can tell, albatron and temp monitor apps = no workie

Hey Thanks Guys, very much appreciated ? It?s very disconcerting as the temp read out actually gives you different last, maximum, and mean temps.

Oldfart, I couldn?t find that post from Duvie, you would you have a link?

As oldfart has said....Also when set like that I get same results as my MBM....ONe has to play to find the correct sensors but trust me it is obvious when you have wrong one...0c,255c,-32c, or 70c...cmon you know none of those are right....

Also don't worry about the 69-70c reading...It is known and been discussed at other forums as a false reading. Load it and you will see it does not move at all...another reason it is false...

Yup yup. Sensors 3 and 1 are the ones that match the BIOS. They seem a bit low to me though. Also, word is Albatron is working on some Hardware Monitoring software of their own. I've been hearing that for awhile now though so who knows.

My mind is not there yet...

I have the same motherboard but somehow can't get MBM to work. I could only detect the CPU fan RPM, nothing more. Is there something I need to install other than MBM itself?

Thanks.

It's great to see this thread get so much attention after I sold the board. :disgust:;):p

I am using lastets MBM version...something like 5.2.x.x.....I am using sensor 1 is winbond 1 and sensor 3 is winbond 3...the temps match speedfan perfectly....In sandra the board temp is actually the cpu temp...the cpu temp is the same bogus sensor 2 as in speedfan and winbond which once again does not move at all even when I load it...The power temp is actually the system chipset temp....

Thanks Again Duvie,

My temp 2 moved from 69c to 70c after intense gameplay, while temp 1 (winbond 1) went from 40c to 70c and temp 3 (winbond 3) went from 35c to 70c.

Alarm went off on temp 2 so I raised the alarm to 74c just to see if it would move 5c. The most I've seen it move is 1c ... obviously bogus ... I'll turn it off soon I'm just curious to see if it fluctuates beyond 1c!

Again ... Thanks!

Are you sure the 70c occurred on both the temp 1 and temp 3??? Or did it happen when you were setting the correct sensor.....

NO system temp or sensor 3 would and could ever hit 70c...That system would crash hard....The 40c to 70c would also be the biggest swing I have ever seen...

Thanks Duvie!

Sensor 1 (winbond 1) says 44C
Sensor 3 (winbond 3) says 39C

what should the voltage settings be? (now it's at default core 0)

Ya ... something is not right ... I'm gonna run some tests tonight as ut3 was practically locking up last night before I got those temps.

I just have the stock hs and thermal pad right now but that's way too high. I'll test later tonight.

Are you using the stock hs and fan?

Thanks Duvie!

BIOS is reporting same temps as MBM and Speedfan.
I'm monitoring this from work so there is no load on the pc at all!

Temps at Idle:

System temp 43c
CPU temp 35c
CPU fan speed 2280
Chasi fan speed 3308


This seems way high! Any ideas

Mobo BIOS is 1.09
Click to expand...

This might be a dumb question, but can you use the 1.09 BIOS with the PX845PEV PRO? The latest BIOS Albatron shows on their site for the PX845PEV PRO is 1.08. I see the 1.09 for the GEV Pro, but not for the PEV Pro. I'm sure the BIOS releases are are very similar since the boards are all very similar, but just wanted to ask the obvious...

I just took delivery on this very same mobo the other day and I wanna make sure I'm using the best and/or newest BIOS possible.

Gotta stop hittin on the crack pipe while I'm doin this cause I can't seem to duplicate those temps.

Temps at Idle:

System temp 43c
CPU temp 35c
CPU fan speed 2280
Chasi fan speed 3308

Under Load:(UTK3)

System temp 55c
CPU temp 47c
CPU fan speed 2616
Chasi fan speed 3308

Gonna run Prime 95.

Are these temps nornal for stock hs and fan ?

First I think the system and cpu temps are reversed....I will have to look at my bios to see...

Secondly do you have anything on the northbridge chip other then the heatsink that came with it????

You are using speedfan right?? Cause it doesn't list cpu and chasis fans just
fan 01 and 02 and so on....If 2200rpm is your cpu fan that is a problem as that is too low for any fan running on an oc'd system or cpu greater then 2.4ghz...I think it is likely one of your case fans....seems about right for 80mm case fans...

definitely reversed between cpu and system temps...

I get 35c idle right now at cpu.....and 30c system....when loaded under 2-3hour divx encoding or 3 hours of prime I get cpu temp loaded at 44c cpu and 40c system....

remember this northbridges get hot with these high fsbs...the chipset is only passively cooled and may be worth getting a fan on that heatsink and pulling it off and applying some AS3 or something...

Duvie, slightly OT, how did you safely (I'm assuming it was safe?) remove the HS on that mobo's northbridge? That'll proly be my next step in OC'ing my 2.4b/845PEV Pro...

haven't done it yet...I still get 30c idle sys temps and loads at 40c!! Yikes!!!

I am a little weary as I don't like the clip method....One needs some thermal bond stuf as well. Without it the 2 clip method allows it to rock on the core of the northbridge (which is a lot like the unprotected core of an amd cpu)...I already chiped a northbridge a few months back with my 4g4a+ mobo.

I would like to get some good thermal paste and a nice fan on it...The northbridge temp may be warmer on this board due to the design as the NB chip is quite close to the cpu and heatsink retention clip...

I'm using this same Albatron motherboard with a 2.4 running at 2.88(1.60v, 160x18, with memor at 160x2.5=400).

38C
69C
32C

Now, the first and 3rd reading should represent CPU/system temperatures without much doubt. The middle one is probably bogus, although I did see the variation from 69 to 71.

When running Prime95...my CPU can go all the way to 45C...but never saw it above 50C yet(maybe the hot California summer isn't here yet).

So we'll see how things turn out when the summer comes...:p
