These are my temps for the Northbridge & Southbridge. Are these too hot? I dread tearing down my system to put fans on these chips but I haven't even overclocked at this point.

Suggestions please:

• SPP 72 °C (162 °F)
• MCP 63 °C (145 °F)

Motherboard seems to be hot too? 43 degrees?

thats pretty hot, i tie ripped a 50 mm fan to my
SSP and went from 79 to 52 c under load
Thats probably because i got the mugen 2 on my cpu wich does a great job on the cpu , i installed to vent out and not downward ,and the p5n32-e sli has heatpipes all round the cpu,so no airflow there, but strapping a simple little vent for some air flow does wonders

You can expect BSOD's around 80-85 c (on my board) (SSP)
My MCP isn't modded yet,it runs at 66c idle so i'll get another fan tommorow when shop opens

and about the mb temp,everest gives me 33 c idle

edit : i'm running a mild oc with these temps e6600 from 2.4 to 3 ghz but when the southbridge is cooled it can go waaay faster

When I had the board I ended up cutting the heatpipe to the NB and replacing the HS with an aftermarket. 43 C isn't hot for the mobo, but you'll want to get the NB down in the 50s on load. An aftermarket HS should give you more breathing room in your OC. If you don't want to cut it a 50mm fan will do just fine.

Man I haven't checked out this thread forever. Was one of my frequent visits too. God bless Robilar.

Is it normal when i clock my E6600@2.4 to 3.5 Ghz and beyond it says that another cpu is installed??
After post,a quick mesage comes up saying that and then it reboots,it runs fine though and it still shows as a E6600.
Temps are fine too (all under 50 c except the MCP runs at 59 c,but it was much hotter when i ran stock and without a fan ziptied to it so that shouldn't be a problem.

When i clock under 3.5 Ghz it again tells me that a new cpu is installed,like there are 2 E6600's one for under 3.5 and one for above

Am i pushing it to hard ? temps are still ok.. boots into windows,can play around but i went back to 3.4 just to be safe

Can anyone comment on this?

Cheers!

Yeah it does the same for me on my current bios. It seems to be the way that the initial overclocking issues with this board were fixed.


Certainly don't worry about it at all if you are still able to o/clock.

Edit: I see some questions about spp and mcp temps - this is my pc with a HR05 sli and some other random chipset cooler, temps for both mcp and spp are around 48-50 without any cooling on the heatsinks apart from the case fans.

Thanks Chickenman!
Good to hear ,i'll get back to pushing it further then.
