Speed Fan readings

Vidar · 17 Jan 2010 at 14:11

Ive just downloaded Speed fan and various other programs as I want to learn how to overclock....

My Speed fan temperatures currently between 28* and 45* except for Temp 3 which reads at 127*.... Can this be right? If so what can be done about it as it seems alarmingly hot..... and what exactly does Temp 3 represent?

Its a dud sensor. Most likely theres not a sensor there so it just gives you that reason.

Nothing to be alarmed at.

<-------- Has stopped panicking!!!

Have to admit I was a tad alarmed at that temperature, to a noob like me it indicates that something is seriously wrong somewhere

Depends on the MB, speedfan should read temp1 as Tcase, sensor just under the cpu, temp2 as the sensor close to the chipset and temp3 as the case temp, away from all the other circuits - although some MBs have that sensor next to your VRM.

If your worried - use a glass thermometer and measure your chipset and the vrm's.

Speed fan temperatures mean very little

Glass thermometer? Just touch it, 127 would burn you savagely

lol, I wasn't going to suggest that he hurt himself. Though, that would have been a good litmus test:

If you scream == something is wrong.

127 in speedfan means there is no sensor there.
