    Mobo monitoring

    Ok, I've been at this a while now. Does anyone know if there exists a program that monitors your motherboard temperatures that allows you to increase the default thresh hold and is compatible with an Intel D865GSA mobo?

    I already use SpeedFan 4.4 thanks to mindz, but that's only doing so much for some odd reason. I read in the online mobo manual from Intel that the maximum temp allowed for cpu is 40 degrees celsius and board temp max is 50 celsius. I need this increased i do believe.

    I've already tried coretemp, realtemp, intel desktop utilities, intel active monitor (with the patch provided by intel) and hmonitor. this POS mobo i have has literally no support anywhere. what DOES recognize the motherboard doesn't do anything for changing the thresh hold of when the computer restarts due to a thermal issue.

    any and all help is greatly appreciated.

    side note: when my computer restarts and i check the temperature in the bios, it typically reads no higher than 57 in zone 2 (which stays the hottest and is the area by the RAM) and even weirder, i never get an actual error message. i used to get "thermal issue" before i bought the new heat sink and an extra case fan. Now I get nothing, it just reboots. Maybe a power supply problem?

    I don't know of any software fgt, but here is some no brainer tips from a simple minded fk.

    How many case fans you got? How big is your case? Does the case have ample intake and exhaust...I've seen dust so bad in between the front cover and chassis that no air could get in... the cpu fan was just pushing around hot air. You're not OC'ng are you? Is your fans set to run "quiet mode" or at highest speed in bios?

    That's all i got now. Im only on my first 1/2 cup of coffee. Dont judge me.

      haha, just 2 case fans, and then the two fans on the heatsink.

      i completely detailed all of the dust out of the computer a few weeks ago, while some is already back, it isn't much.

      no i'm not oc'ing.

      in bios there is no option on what mode to run the fans, it's either on or off.

      Update: PC Wizard did the trick. It forced the cpu (only) thresh hold to 85 celsius (that was the lowest option other than default). It has a stability test where it maxes out your cpu usage. During the 3 and a half minute test, nothing even came near 85 degrees(c), 60 was tops on the Power/Aux, everything else was 40 or lower. so i pressed "stop test"... as soon as i did, the computer rebooted. So it's not a heating issue, and i have no clue what to figure now... improper voltage possibly... i dunno...

          You shouldn't be able to increace the max temps for anything. If something is running hotter than it's supposed to, instead of trying to increace the limits and allowing it to run hot, get a better cooler so it runs cooler like it's supposed to.

          A CPU shouldn't have a max temp of 40*C, that's just wrong...

          Here's a cpu cooler

          and a cooler for the northbridge

            i have the sufficient cooling on the computer, a heatsink with two-fans built-in (1300rpm per fan), top of the line thermal paste, 2 case fans, and the case itself is open with a 2ft. BOX FAN blowing directly into it on it's highest setting, roughly 15-20 mph wind. and it still runs at 60 degrees celsius.

            also, i've already tried without the box-fan and the case closed to create a "draft", i've tried rotating the case fans to blow directly in, and rotated to exhaust out and every single other possible option.

            i'm beyond thinking it's a heat issue anymore... i'm getting aggravated, in case that detail slipped past anyone.

              also, i've noticed in the settings that one of my voltage readings are slightly off.. the one that's supposed to be 12.5 is 13.4 on average..

                what kinda of heatsink and cpu do you have? some intel processors run hotter than others as well, my prescott runs around 40-45 with stock cooler.
                make sure the heatsink pins are locked all the way through the motherboard, how did you apply the thermal paste? only a small amount is needed.

                how long have you had this pc? if it was running fine before, its possible that the temperature sensors are faulty,

                if you get no luck, you can try pcmech.com.
