Temperature sensor - DKA790GX

[SCFAdamVcG]

Hi OCF users ,
Has anyone here who owns the same motherboard as in my description gotten a system temperature reading of around 40c ..?
I have everest ultimate 5.30.1900 monitoring temps .. it appears system temperature is aux , but my question is .. what exactly is this aux sensor monitoring..? It appears to be crashing at 41-42c when running an overclock .. which is perfectly stable by the way ..
I'm just bemused as to what could be causing these kind of temperatures .. I tryed putting an 80mm fan over some parts of the motherboard but no difference .. all I've got at the moment is an amd heatsink fan @ 3100rpm cooling my motherboard's mosfet's ..
Thanks , Adam.

I've got some sensor on my 780G gigabyte board that several temp monitoring programs say is hitting 92C when running Prime and high 80's when idling. Now I know that isn't so. The board would not be stable if that were true. I think its a false interpretation. If your board is stable i wouldn't worry about it. But I'm confused in that you said it was crashing at 42C when overclocking but then you say it is stable. Do you mean the board is stable at the overclock setting when not under stress?

I suggest using another temp reading software and see what it says...you might also want to update your Bios...sometimes they "Fix" and incorect algorithm and then the temp sensor reads correctly.

I use Speed Fan...it's been my favorite over the years...also reads your GPU temp, voltages etc..and a whole bunch of neat little things it can do such as control your fans speeds (For fans that connect to the motherboard headers)

Just for CPU temps Real temp and Core temp are supposed to be very accurate and you can actually change the calibration a bit on them based on the CPU stepping for even more accuracy..it's just hard to find that info.
(Sorry for being vague on this, I haven't gotten that picky about it since I stopped using LN-2 cooling about 3 years ago)

Sorry if you allready know about all the programs and any of the advice I have given, but sometimes people aren't aware of some of this stuff (Or forgotten/overlooked it) even of they have been doing it for years.

Also, my guess is that temp is reading your power circuit temps.

MSI has similar utilities...let me look.

I used there "Live Update" on a ancient NF-2 board the other day and it even worked on that..I was very impressed...just be carefull when getting the updated drivers, sometimes the graphics and other drivers they reccomend are older then what you can find on the web.

What I meant was , it seems to always crash down at 42-43c .. one night I was playing bioshock 2 .. next minute i have a huge crashout and a load of ****ed up noise ... then i reboot to find all the motherboard chokes boiling hot .. strange .. anyway I've added a fan over one of the main power phase parts .. that helps a little .. I must find these bits on my motherboard .. thanks both of the people that replied it seems to have finally answered my question =]

You might look at the sinks on the power chips. If they can be removed easily (and put back on) I've found using a good TIM on them can help temps a lot. My A8N32 NB cooled down ~5°C just putting Ceramique on it instead of the stuff ASUS used at the factory ...
