DFI LanParty UT NF4 Ultra-D Chipset Temperature

I use DFI LanParty UT NF4 Ultra-D Rev.A3(AD0) nForce4 Ultra Temperature is near 52C idle and 60C at load
its Normal? or Hot?
How Much is Normal?
Nvidia nTune Tell me its HOT!!
 
That sounds high to me. I have the same mobo and my chipset never gets above 50C at load. That's with stock cooling, and I haven't even used AS5 on the chipset like a lot of people do. Maybe my XP120 helps to keep it cool, but it doesn't overhang the chipset at all, so I don't know.

With temps like that, I would at least take off the heat sink and put some AS5 on, that alone should lower the temp a few degrees.

85C is too hot?!!!!

Actually, not that I think about it's my PWM temp that hits 85C, I'll have to see what my chipset gets to. I'm pretty sure that the chipset fan hits full speed at 60-65C and I definitely hear that loud thing alot. 🙂

Geez im mad if mine is even near 50. Its running at 41 under a full load.

Did you use AS5 on your chipset HSF? I've been thinking about doing that, but I don't want to go through the hassle of removing the motherboard if it's only a 1-2C drop. If it's 5C or more, it's probably worth it.

I'd say he probably games in a fridge.

just cleaning my front intake fans gave me a 5c drop 😛

mine idles 36c and loads ~44c.

the gtx above it can have a huge impact as well. using the silencer got my temps back fown after the gtx sent them up to ~ 52c. short of using the silencer, you can run the card in the lower slot maybe.

I did nothing to it. I guess I wont be worried about temps so much.

What is your CPU temp?

stock @ 2GHz idle 32 & load 37
 
AS5 = Artic Silver 5 = good thermal interface material. There are instructions on DFI-street on how to remove the fan from your chipset and apply some AS5 so you get better heat transfer from the chip to the heatsink/fan.

The video card right over the chip could be a factor. Try moving it to the second PCIe slot and see if that makes a difference in your temps. Be sure to switch all the jumper blocks between the 2 PCIe slots if you want to use the second slot. By default, the top slot is 16x and bottom one is 1x. Moving the jumpers makes them each run at 8x. If you don't do that, your video card will be extremely slow.

I run my 6800GT in the second slot because I use a V-1 cooler on it which interferes with the CPU heatsink if I try to use the first slot. Maybe that's helping my temperatures stay around 50C load, or maybe it's the XP-120 heatsink on my CPU that helps to also cool the chipset, hard to say.
 
I replaced mine with AS5, its around 38-40*C at idle (depending on ambient in my room, and 48-50*C at highest load again depending somewhat on the ambient.

Sorry but i dont really remember what my stock temps were, but I recall that the AS5 dropped temps ~10*C, so my load before the AS5 was probably around 58-60*C.

I have DFI LanParty UT NF4 Ultra-D if I move my graphic card to second slot and Moving the jumpers to 2 and 3 position my single card work @ x16 or x8 or x2 ??
