hello frenss......... just wanna know how ro lower the pwm temp.. i have oc'ed my 2.4a to 3.6 with air cool... i could maintain my cpu temp.. but i find the pwm temp is shooting high when the cpu in high load... so.. how to lower the pwm temp.... any help ... ideas.. appreciated... thanks....
 
Is the board an Abit board w/ uGuru temp monitoring? I had a similar experience w/ an AI7 posted here.

Did some research over at Abit forum and came up with:

The claim is that the power circuitry is good for 120C, but I find that somewhat insane. At some point plastic will melt similar to the blocks in the IC7Max portion of this article.. The best suggestion would be to install a fan to move the air around the power mosfets, maybe ramsinks also, but thats a warranty voider.

Plastic on the MB itself can take a lot of heat. During construction, the entire board is stuck in an oven that's hot enough to melt solder and that only occurs at >400F I believe.

 
The mobo may take it but I would be concerned with a stray wire or sleeving from the psu touching one of these parts. Abit says they are good for those temps, but 120c is just insane.

BTW: the default temps on the Abit montioring program are 70c before the alarm goes off. That really has me concerned. Why set them there if 100c is of no concern? Just seems a little fishy.😉

Thank you man for the links... And found it very usefull... well.. i have fixed a big fan outside the casing blowing towards the pwm area... and able to reduce the temp about 10c... Thanks all..

 
hi guys.......... as sadi i succesfully lowered the pwm temp with the fan i mentioned earlier its a big fan 120mm which i directed towards the pwm area... this link below shows my cpu temp oc'ed full load while prime running in the background foor 2 hours...

Thats a lot of voltage for a Prescott. I won't go above 1.6V and I'm on water. If you can keep it cool, more power to ya.
