quick temperature question

Reaper 392 · 8 Mar 2011 at 19:07

ive had a look on the internet, and i cant find anything about this:

all i need to know is, what is the safe operating temperature for my motherboard:

its an Asus M4A88T-M AMD 880G

ive just started running prime95 on my new rig, the CPU is sitting happily at 56C, but the motherboard has suddenly started to go up. its no where near any sort of worry levels right now (39C) but 5 mins ago it was a lot less than that

If you start hitting 60c ~ odd on the motherboard then you may need a fan.
But monitor and see how you get on!

oh cool. not got any problems then.

about 5 mins in it randomly shot up to 39C, but just stayed there for the rest of the 1/2 an hour i ran prime95.

will do a longer test when i have more time, but it seems fine for now.

thanks for the info

Also, there will be nothing you run on the system that will stress like prime either in everyday use.
