I have the ...

Tagan TG900-U95 900W ATX2.01 Turbojet Quad SLi Silent PSU

And i think its too hot

How can i cool it...

I highly doubt thats a real reading, does it change depending when going from idle to load, or is it fixed at that value?

lukeharvest · 9 Dec 2006 at 09:45

No the reading does fluctuate between 118-120.

Is there anouther programme i can check the Temp and also turn the fans up...

I don't think there's anyway you can monitor PSU temps, they take care of themselves and alter their fan speed according to their temperature. I wouldn't worry about speedfan, it often will pick up a couple of non-existant values.

i woild be a little concerned and not leave it on unattended ie going out for the day etc, i have the same psu and mine sits about 80 - 90 degrees. don't worry about it as has already been said it's probably a sensor error but just keep an eye on it.

How are you monitoring the PSU temp? How is the info getting from the PSU to speedfan?

No Idea. Just using that programme

Hi,

What graphics card have you got, could be picking up a faulty reading from there. :eek:

There was a post up before with the exact same problem - i'll try and find it.
iirc its due to a calibration error or something - nothing to worry about really

Its nothing but a board error there is no program that reads the temperature of a power supply.

Jokester · 9 Dec 2006 at 12:28

That's either the PWMIC temperature or an uncalibrated sensor, given that your's doesn't vary much I suspect it's an uncalibrated sensor. What motherboard is it, if it's a P5WDH then it's uncalibrated and doesn't make any useful measurements?

P5WDH indeed

And might I ask what CPU cooler are you using there? 19C.. very nice on any chip.

Thats what I thought, there's no way to get the data from the PSU to the motherboard.

There is i think, some psus have a 3pin connector that plugs into the mobo (poss a fan header) and the mobo can read off that

Thats just the PSU fan speed that can be read from that.
