Is 50*c a safe temp when gaming and streaming? I have read 70-75 is considered "really high" from MSI. So I should be set right?
I've seen a thread where someone asked MSI about safe NB temp. He got a reply that 80c is maximum safe limit for North Bridge. Well you don't need to worry if you are under safe limit, because as far as I know that no one has blown up NB chipset of this motherboard due to high temperature. I have used this motherboard for one year. And I too had seen many times NB temp reaching to 80-82c at 38c ambient. Never had even single crash at this temp.
I love this motherboard because there was not a single problem with this motherboard in terms of functionality and performance.
Only one thing that MSI should not have done with this mother board was the BIOS update supporting 125w Thuban CPUs, Because VRMs of this mobo had not been designed to provide enough current to Thuban CPUs. If they had arranged and decided to support for furture CPUs, at least they should have implemented throttling function with this motherboard. MSI itself responsible for their disreputation with the failure of this great motherboard.
