Hey guys, I'm having a hell of a time trying to get a stable rig here... My main question is, does anyone know what temp sensors are for what component on this board?
Here are the sensors and their respective temps via SpeedFan:
Idle-Load
40c-53c Temp1 (Chip: F71889A, Bus: ISA, Address: $480)
56c-80c+ Temp2 (Chip: F71889A, Bus: ISA, Address: $480)
31c-32c Temp3 (Chip: F71889A, Bus: ISA, Address: $480)
HD0 (obviously my SSD)
GPU (obviously my gpu)
Here is my Hardware Setup:
MSI 970A-G46
FX 6300 - 4.1GHz (20x205 @ 1.35v) I'm under the impression that this should be a super low OC for this chip
G.Skill Ripjaws 2133 (underclocked due to FSB not being bumped much)
PowerColor 6790 1GB
Corsair 750w PSU
Here were my original thoughts on what the temps were:
Temp1 - CPU (I still believe this to be the case)
Temp2 - NB (due to initially feeling the NB heatsink being very hot)
Temp3 - ???
When I saw the Temp2 temps I got concerned and felt all of the components to see which one was hot. The NB felt very hot, almost to where it would burn me if I kept my finger on it. I took the heatsink off of the NB and the VRMs and applied some AS5 and a small fan (as it was fanless before). Temp2 is still going through the roof, but when I feel the NB heatsink, it's barely warm to the touch under load.
Does anyone have any idea? I'm about to RMA this board maybe (hopefully they won't care/notice that I replaced their crappy "thermal compound" with real stuff). So far, I've replaced the motherboard, ram and CPU one by one (started with MSI M2N-SLI Deluxe with a 955BE and DDR2 memory)
HEEEEEELLLLP!
