Asus P4P800 at 257F??

[krushstone]

Hi,

Asus Pc Probe is reporting me that the temperature of my mb is 257F(125C).
This is pretty weird since all is working properly and the CPU(2.4C) temp is reported at 95F(35C).

Is this a problem with the sensor or what?

Gotta be something wrong with the sensor.

Did your smoke alarm go off?

The temps on my P4P800 is 36c for the CPU (2.6C) and 35c for the motherboard. Something's not quite right with your board there, dude. I think you'd know if it was really that hot. The paint melting off the case would be a clue.

Hum, I rebooted and went into the bios, and it was indicating 37c.
Then I restarted pc prob and it was indicating the same temperature.

maybe I needed to reboot directly after installing pc probe, but the setup never asked to.

the temps are much better now

asus pc probe is known to be buggy- try Motherboard Monitor, and make sure you download the latest release

And update to the latest BIOS, sometimes that can fix a temperature bug.

I'm still thinking the MB probe might be under the heatsink for the northbridge, anyone know? I too have strangely high MB temps, even with the case open in a room with 21C ambient air temp. Also, MBM was reporting insane temps like 85C until I downloaded a new version.

this just got asked in Motherboards, the answer posted was that you need to change the sensor (in MBM or PC Probe) to winbond 2 diode

ed: oops, that was for a goofy CPU reading, but still could be the same general problem, wring sensor definition
