I checked my HWmonitor settings yesterday and while I was gaming my Mobo temp hit 59C. I knew this board had cooling issues but that seemed a little excessive, considering my CPU temps never topped 37C that whole time. Do you guys think this is a sensor anomaly or is something terribly wrong? I also noticed once in a while HWmonitor will say that my CPU fan speed reached a maximum of like 2700rpm when my CPU fan's actual max speed is 1200rpm. I wonder why it's so wonky. The highest I've seen my mobo temps reach before this was just 36C, when running 100% CPU, overclocked, and 2 instances of orthos.
I was running at stock speeds by the way. I think I have pretty good airflow in my case but I don't have anything blowing directly on my northbridge. Does anyone know where the mobo temp sensor actually is? Does it represent NB temps?
