My buddys PC fans keep going up to 100% and staying there,I had him DL smart guardian and these are the pics,i had him turn the fans 100% and 40% ,that is where he has been running it at,it seems very hot to me.Is there anything wrong here?

JEEZUS! That cpu is a little warm!!!! :eek:

lemonadesoda · Feb 29, 2008

Double check those temps with ANOTHER utility. Speedfan is notoriously unreliable with some chipset combinations. Try Everest. If STILL high, then sounds like the CPU cooler needs checking. Not fitted properly, plastic protection sleeve still on it, etc. etc. Maybe an even more crazy problem, like fan polarity wrong, and spinning backwards. That would be very inefficient. Also check the computer case that there is free airflow both in and out of the case.

it's the board.. the board is reporting bad temperatures to your os.. try using thermal diodes or temperature sensors. also try resetting the board.. though i doubt that it'll fix anything.

sneekypeet · Feb 29, 2008

first off is he even running a DFI....Smart guardian wont run well on non DFI mobo's....if it is a DFI, get the camera out soon there is neat stuff about to happen!

Sorry Pancho beat me to it!

WarEagleAU · Feb 29, 2008

What proc is he running and mobo? Is he overclocking? If its that high (which I seriously doubt) then it would have fried already. Seems to me its reporting something in error.

keakar · Feb 29, 2008

your cpu does look a little hot and the 12v seems low, confirm those voltages with a multimeter and check the cpu fan, it may be running too slow causing the overheating.

NONYA · Feb 29, 2008

Speed fan and smart guardian are showing very similar temps,no it is not OCd

He just replaced his HS and fan last night and there is no temp change.

NONYA · Feb 29, 2008

His PC JUST shut off on him,cpu 167,Chipset 38 right now.

PWMIC 491f.... :eek:

Smart Guardian does NOT like your motherboard. either that or you've lit your NB on fire... :roll:

tiys · Feb 29, 2008

OMG!

Those socket A's run extremely hot. That explains your problem, in a nutshell pretty much.

sorry if im not of a lot of help :eek:

NONYA · Feb 29, 2008

Thats what i told him,hes taking pics right now Ill post in a min

MKmods · Feb 29, 2008

You said ASUS mobo?
if the smart Guardian is for ther DFI un install it first. Than get someone that knows how to check the voltages with a multi meter.

tiys · Feb 29, 2008

@NONYA- ooh...ok...i'll stay @ this thread!

NONYA · Feb 29, 2008

No volt meter avaliable.Should he reset bios,I dont think it has been messe with at all.

tiys · Feb 29, 2008

Alright, ask him to pull off the hsf and take a good, clear pic of the CPU.

IF the core on it looks like it has changed color, or has gotten reddish bronzeish, then chances are, it got fried.

NONYA · Feb 29, 2008

Would it be safe for him to run orthos and check those temps?

MKmods · Feb 29, 2008

another thing, most people use celcius for temps, when you get a chance change from F to C.

Did you uninstall the Smart Guardian yet? (the crazy temps are probably a software prob)

Also did you change the CPU cooler? if so what paste did you use?

tiys · Feb 29, 2008

Hmm... to answer your quesiton...I dunno..if it's getting that hot, I wouldn't really want to risk it.

Did he apply some thermal greese when he installed the new HS? If so, what kind? How much?

NONYA · Feb 29, 2008

Yes he did.He took it in for service some time ago after it wouldnt power up and they replaced the power source,hes questioning wether ts the right PSU since the wiires seem extra long on this PSU and if it could be the cause of the prob.We JUST installed smartguardian,it has nothing to do with the prob.

tiys · Feb 29, 2008

Probably not. I'm sure having longer cables on the PSU wouldn't have any thing to do with it....

Unless he's doing cable management, then it would be a issue...

thoughtdisorder · Feb 29, 2008

Something really seems amiss here....At those temps I would lay my eyes on that cpu before firing it up again. Check for any discoloration and let us know what you see. Also, really need to check the volts......

I'm hoping and thinking something is askew in the reporting of the temps.... :confused:

NONYA · Feb 29, 2008

We have tried a few different programs all with similar high temp readings.Hes going to take cpu pics but its going to take awhile,ill put them up when i get em,THANX guys.
