hmm speedfan verkar inte visa rätt temperatur för nforce-chippet (om det nu är den sensorn som tempen motsvarar). Tempen står på 70 grader nu också men om man känner på den så verkar den vara 25-30 grader nu istället. Ska dock testa om man kan överklocka nå mer nu när den är sval...
...nä inte gick det nå bättre nu vill den inte ens starta på 210mhz, usch blir trött på det här
EDIT: OM nån fortfarande är intresserad av tempen så fick jag svar från gigabyte om detta för nån dag sen:
Question:
The questions are about the temperatures of the nforce4 chipset.
When the computer is running at default clockspeed and is idle in windows the heatsink is still VERY warm. It feels like 60-70 degreees celcius. The computercase is sufficiently ventilated. Other temps are: cpu at 29 degrees, harddrive at 35 degrees, gpu at 50 degrees.
My questions:
1. Is this high temperature really healthy for the chip?
2. Could this high temperature cause any stability problems?
3. What idle-temp does the GA-K8NXP-SLI have on it's nforce4-chipset (since it has active cooling)?
4. What diffrences are there between GA-K8N Pro-SLI and GA-K8NXP-SLI apart from the obious ones (active chipset cooling, 4 extra sata ports and controller, dual power system, 1 exta gigabit lan connector and controller)?
Answer:
Hi,
Sorry for the slow reply, I had to do some checking of this.
Around 70 degrees is normal for a passively cooled chipset. Temperatures up to 90 degrees should be no problem, so this should not be the reason for overclocking problems. Please note that the overclocking abilities of your system depends on the combination of components you have and there is no way to say how far you could overclock a certain motherboard. There might also be different results when you overclock from BIOS or if you use our EasyTune application.
An actively cooled chipset might be around 40 degrees, but you have the added noise and the possibility the chipset is destroyed if the fan fails which is why most people will prefer a solution without a fan.
4. The differences are mainly those you write. They have the same chipset etc and the difference would be the added SATA controllers, Dual Power System, LAN etc. Also it might be a difference between the amount of cables etc that is delivered with the motherboards.
