NB temp or dodgy sensor ?

Meow9000 · Aug 22, 2009

Im not a 100% sure what TPMIN2 is, but im sure that it might be the NB possibly. correct me if im wrong but it seems awfuly high. problem is to change the TIM would take alot of work.

Its stays between 94-100'c when im not even doing anything in a game, then shoots upto a 125'c

Any advice ?

Yes thats your northbridge temps.
Is it high like that already when you boot up or does it rise up to that when you start useing your computer.

Meow9000 · Aug 22, 2009

usualy idles around 45'C, as soon as i start any game or program that requires some work it shoots up within 20-30 secs.

Well you have a problem then.
I would repaste it and get a extra fan pointed at it to see if that makes a difference.
Suprised it dont crash out on you at those temps.

If you think the temps are too hot, then you need to find a way to cool it. TIM won't help if there's no airflow over the heatsink. Rig a fan to it to cool it down.

What is your ram voltage set at.
I know that pic with ddr @ 5.2 cant be correct.

Running four sticks of RAM will help shoot up the NB temps as well.

seems to run fine and stable, im just worried about those temps, never noticed in the past so not sure if it has always been that high.

well my cpu hs is quite large and theres not much room, i dont think a fan would be possible

Running 2x2GB, forgot to update my system specs, only got them this week

(ninja edit: oops double post)

chek your ddr voltages in the bios. its showing 5.15v on that screenie

Asylum · Aug 22, 2009

Yea i think hes cooking his ram.

Wouldn't 5.15v mean... instant death? IIRC, this is what happened the last time somebody used that kind of voltage on memory:

Checked the bios, set to 2.1v, reset my cmos and set it back to 2.1v to make sure, but still showing 5.15 in HWmonitor so im lost on that one seeing as my bios only goes up so far ?

looks like your sensors are messed up then

Meow9000 · Aug 22, 2009

So im right in thinking if my NB temp where that high, it would either crash or blow the chip pretty quickly ?

Also what would be the best way to check the temps ? is there any electonic device i could buy ?

Except that on AMD platforms the NB-chipset has absolutely nothing to do with RAM.
