Mother board temp and CPU clock question

I use Sandra Pro Home 2007 to monitor MB temperature and temp goes up to 57 C.Usually it is around 52C/53C,after it gets over 50C I get a warning from Sandra saying that temperature is to high and to power down PC.
Is over 50C really to high temp for mother board???

When running on battery power I set CPU speed to medium but CPU-z is still showing 1.6 ghz clock,that is max speed for my Turion 64 X2.
Speed should be lower, shouldn't it???If CPU-z is not showing real speed how can I monitor current speed of my CPU?
Thanks for answering this boring questions

 

Try using some other programs like RMClock or NotebookHardwareControl, those are much better than the build in power software.

But only use 1 of those at a time, I tried running both and they seem to contradict eachother.

 

Can somebody please answer is temperature of my motherboard to high????
Thanks...

 

Something is kind of funny with Sandra methinks. Is there somewhere you can set the threshold for that warning? 50c is quite cool. I have an 8204 and I'm sitting here with a browser and Word doc open and mine is sitting at 59c. Working in hot places on hot days i have seen it get up to around 80c, the fan just runs faster. From what i hear, machines usually want to shut down somewhere between 90 and 100C. There is absolutely no problem with that temperature you are experiencing.

 

Ok Yellow thanks, that is good to know.

I just hope that you are not talking about CPU temperature,motherboard temperature is what worries me.
I also know that machines usually want to shut when temperature reaches 90C-100C,but CPU temperature not motherboard temperature!!

 

Sorry, thats my CPU temp, about mother board temp, i can't help you. I kind of thought that was what you are looking for. It makes me wonder where on the board this temperature is taken. WHat part of it does the system think is overheating? Does the machine seems to be actually hot, or could it be that a sensor is giving a false reading. IF you don't worry about it and don't look at Sandra at all, does it want to shut down? 50c does not seem to me to be a high temperature for a board.

 

PC is not hot it is warm.CPU temp is around 51C-57C,HDD 48C-50C,I think those temps are Ok.

Can somebody post what is their motherboard temperature please???

 

Hyall... Acer Aspire 1642Z NWLMi... my CPU temp gets very very high, so does my HDD temp, especially when I play games, even if they're old games, that have low requirements... my solution was: I lowered the CPU freq to 600 MHz (medium in ePowerManagement) and now it stays constant at 45-48 degrees C.. before it was 60-67 degrees C and HDD was 40-45 C... it's really weird, considering that the games move in the same way (no performance lowering) when CPU is at 600MHz, compared to 1.7 GHz... someone explain?

Good luck to all

 

Hello axlgothika, thanks for posting but I don't have problem with CPU and HDD temperature I have a problem with MOTHERBOARD temp.SisoftSandra is giving me a warning that my MB temp is too high and that I should power down my PC.

CAN SOMEBODY POST WHAT IS YOUR MOTHERBOARD TEMPERATURE PLEASE!!!!
I SAID MOTHERBOARD

 

Get a different program that monitors motherboard temperature and see if it gives the same temperature as Sandra. Then come back and report, in case the problem is Sandra. You need to rule that out first.

 

Hi Bex,can you suggest some other good program than Sandra that does that.
I don't know any other.
Thanks...

 

No I can't suggest a program as I've never monitored MB temps... but try googling for a freeware/shareware/trialware app, there should be some.

 

May I suggest trying to use Evertest Home Edition. It will display alot of details on many notebooks, and it will give you a wide range of temperatures. However, since its a bit old, it may show some of the information wrongly, so if it looks wrong, then I wouldn't trust it. It measures temperatures fine, though.

If you wish to have the correct details, then you should download Everest Ultimate Edition. It is similar to the Home Edition, however, it is a trial version. As a result, it will display a Windows XP style attention bubble near the time, asking you to buy the product. Apart from that, all of the information is reliable, however, some of the temperatures are blanked out, because it is trial version software. Both editions are very useful, and you can install both on a computer, if you wish to make suse of both.

 

I have Everest 2007 but it only shows temperature of both cores and HDD temp,
no MOTHERBOARD temp.
