When using speedfan there is one temperature that seems dangerously high..

[Therk]

Ok, every time I use speedfan Temp#3 seems to always be 69-71C with the burning icon. Everything else seems fine...

Can someone tell me how i can find out which component in my PC that is?

Heres what Speedfan says:

Temp1: 25C
Temp2: 25C
Temp3: 69C
Temp: 1C
Local: 33C
Remote: 38C
HD0: 40C
Core: 37C

specs:

A64 3200+ Venice (most likely to be?)
1 gig ram
Geforce 6800 GS (The temperature is not it, its at a stable 42C in nvidia menu)
200 gig HD

I get that too, I'm not sure what causes it but it's nothing to worry about. Mine says 90C actually

I don't think that the third temperature is operational. First is the MB, second is the CPU and the rest are specifically given. On mine, it shows 127 degrees, and I know that nothing is that hot, so I leave it disabled.

You're right, everybody's readout will be 127C and it nothing to be concerned about. It something that speedfan has a value for which means 0, but read as 127C. Scarey for most when they first see it. Don't worry.

on my rig, speedfan detecs a temp of -1C so its obvious that its irrelevent (i'm on air.) the temps that i have are the CPU socket, core and hdd.

You should also have a motherboard temp...or as some would refer to as the case temp.

feel around in your case, 70C is very hot to the touch. Do you feel anything that is uncomfortably hot to touch?

 

[Therk]

no, nothing seemed to be above 50C imo

You're fine!
