I downloaded sisoftware sandra to check some stuff on my system.

It tells me that my mainboard is running hot at 77c/170f i'm like ok wtf my comps only been on for 1 hour.

I restart my comp and go to the bios to cheack system health.

It says CPU is 47c (not bad) and chassie is 45c(still not bad)

Hmm is this somthing i should be worried about or could it be software error?

I am beginning to think its a big problem with software.

I turn my comp on after its been off for 5 hours and as soon as windows loads i check the temp with sandra again. It says 76c/170f.

OK! i was like its only been on for 1 min and its over heating? ok SURE!

Try taking the heatsink off and turning it on and feeling the CPU with your hand to see how hot it gets.

My comp often idles in the low 50's (in 100 degree heat) and I have 4 case fans. 40's are nothing to worry about. I suspect Sandra is the problem. Also, try Speedfan (if your mobo is supported).

I D/L the speedfan program once again it says 77

OK

If my mobo has been running 77 for awail it should be melted now am i right?

I think my sensor maybe broke or the programs are just s****y. I dunno if she blows she blows.
