MSI 865PE Neo2 northbridge temp is HIGH!

brisk · 03-05-04, 03:03 AM

My motherboard's nb temp is at 61C idle!.

..what is wrong? my cpu is at 40C idle and 46C load. can the nb temp be a bad sensor? i need to overclock but afraid this might cause a problem. need some help here. thanks in advance.

Try reseating it with some AS thermal compound. If that doesnt bring temps down then I guess you could invest in a new HSF for it.
