New to cooling

[James_723]

Built my PC a year ago now. I've not been overclocking or anything but thought I would have a look at the temperatures my computer is running at.

I've got an Asus A8N-SLI Premium Mobo, an AMD Athlon 64 3700+ CPU, 1GB of Geil PC3200 DDR RAM and a cheapy Winfast NVidia 128mb PCI-E graphics card.

I ran SpeedFan and the results have concerned me somewhat.

Three of the temperatures have been flagged up as being high. The HDD is 50 degrees celcius.

But the 2 temperatures on the LM75 chip on the nVidia bus are both 127 degrees celcius!

Is this worringly high or am I misinterpreting it?

What could be causing it and how can I fix it?

Thanks.

If you've been running the PC for a year with temps of 127C you wouldn't have a great deal of your PC left by now. If it's stable, doesn't crash and their is no unexplained slow downs (caused to self throttling of the GPU or CPU) then the problem is more than likely with Speedfan trying to read from the wrong sensor group.

You can either mess about with Speedfan (which I don't like anyway) and see if you can get it to read from the correct sensor group or you can just dump it.
