Hey all,
I recently completed a home-built computer and am having some serious questions about the temperatures I am getting. Here are the specs in question below (I will get it entered into a system rig as soon as I remember my password
)
Athlon T-Bird 1.333 @ 1.400 (1.85 Volts, 133*10.5 - nothing too bad)
MSI K7 Master (MS-6341)
256 Crucial DDR Ram
GeForce 2 Pro 64 meg
SB Platinum 5.1
Antec SX1030
Swiftech MC370-0A w/ Delta Fan
Enermax 350W PS (Whisper)
When I go into the Bios, I am seeing a System Temp of 26 C, and a CPU temp of around 75 C - which is the serious part. That temperature is insanely high, and would be representative if I had maybe no cooling on it at all - however, I have the Swiftech on the chip, and two fans in the back and one fan on the front, and although the machine is loud, it should definitely keep things cool - much more than what I am seeing. The thing is, the system isn't even overclocked that much.
I loaded Motherboard Monitor to check what that was sending, and I am getting 3 temperatures based on the Via 686B - Temp1 = 26, Temp2 = 75, Temp3 = 40. I checked out the Motherboard Monitor (MBM) website and am seeing a discrepancy - for the motherboard's (MSI 6341) part number, it is listing that Temp3 is the CPU temp - however, it is listing the sensor as Via 686A, and not B. For all of the other mobo's with 686B's on them, Temp2 is the CPU temp, which is the one returning the 75 C. MBM itself is showing 686B as my options to select for the sensors, and not 686A. Plus, there is the fact that the Bios is returning the 75 C temp...
And that is where I am currently - I am concerned that I am frying my chip, although I have seen no instability issues in Win2k whatsoever. 75 C is just insanely high though....
So, any advice or suggestions would be much appreciated that can point me down the path of enlightenment...
Thanks in advance!
