80c Normal IOH Temp

I just built a system with the MSI pro E and I see the IOH temperature is 80c at idle state. I'm not overclocking and the CPU temp is 29c. Is this the normal idle temperature for the IOH?

Well relate2, sounds like you have some choices to make, #1 RMA your board, #2 redo the IOH, #3 do nothing, or #4 (recommend regardless of any other choice), contact MSI Tech. Support & voice your concerns with them about your IOH temp. If you choose to do nothing & the IOH fails, please let us forum users know, as no confirmed cases of IOH heat failure have been posted here so far.
Constructive comments are always a good thing, but statements like these? Anyway, here is the link: http://ocss.msi.com.tw/
1. RMA my board means doing without a computer for 2-3 weeks, plus the added cost of getting someone to remove and replace the board......not going to happen. Being a full time carer for my elderly Dad, my computer is the only thing that keeps me sane.
2. Contact MSI Tech....they say it is OK up to 100c are they kidding 100c :( it may work for a while but heating up to 100c then back to room temp will soon destroy if not the chip itself then the connections to the board. Seeing as though I haven't been through a Summer heat wave yet who knows what IOH temp I will get when the ambient is around 40c
3. Do nothing....this is what I will be doing in the short run but it looks like Gigabyte will be getting my next purchase.

Early 2009, 24" iMac: What are normal operating temps?

My iMac overheats and automatically shuts down frequently. Sometimes, just watching a movie on Quicktime causes the CPU to top 80C and cause a shutdown. Fans never run faster than 3500-3600rpm.
Another thing that I noticed, is that the hiutil process runs twice a day using 100% of my processor, and always causes an overheat and shurtdown.
Can anyone direct me to normal operating temps for this model iMac, or advise what may be worng?
This sreenshot displays temps (Celcius) with only Safari running. With uTorrent running (not actually feeding peers), and Quicktime, I get an overheat.

Your temps are somewhat high, but still within acceptable levels.
I would be more comfortable seeing many of the temps in the 40 degree Celsius range.
Your CPU temps are on the high side and probably why your CPU fans are running high.
When was the last time you clear out any of the dust, lint and fine dirt particles from your iMac.
IF you've never done this, you need to completely unplug your iMac, find a heavy blanket or towel to lay your iMac, face down on the soft material. Using a special electronics vacuum, a portable, plug in vacuum or standardnhiuse vacuum with hose and attchments, using either the bare hose end or crvice tool, carefully and slowly vacuum all air intake and exhaust vents, openings and all of the ports to get rid of as much fine dust, dirt and lint as possible.
Do not use a vacuum attachment with brushes. This could cause a problem with random static charges.
Once this is done, re-setup your iMac, plug all your peripherals in and then do an SMC reset by plugging in your iMac to power. Wait 5 seconds, then power up your iMac.
Then report back here with any changes in temps.

IOH Temp - Obsession, Over Reaction, Or A Real Reason For Concern

Many of us have concerns over what is an acceptable IOH temp at idle & full load. Please, no rants, tangents, or bashing. If you feel your temp is too high, lets keep everything constructive, & let's all work together to get it fixed. To date, we have two types of boards to consider, those with push pins, & the others with machine screws. A simple test to see if your IOH temp may benefit from some form of a mod, a gentle but firm downward pressure on the IOH heatsink after it is fully warmed up, it may take 15 seconds or so before any reaction, but does the temp start to decrease? By how much? If around 10c reduction, increasing the downward pressure by hardware modification may be an option.
Before taking this too far, what 'is' too hot? If we can believe the manufacturer of the chip, 100c is it's max. limit. For everyday use at full sustained load, from what I can gather from Intel, 95c Tcontrol appears to be the 'magic' upper limit without any possible long term degradation or data corruption. Anything at or below that, as per them (meaning Intel), should have no effect on the chip's lifespan. The jury is still out, & only time will tell. Details can be obtained by reading the Intel X58 Express Chipset Thermal and Mechanical Design Guide of March 2009.
For those that wish to take further steps to reduce their IOH temps, these existing threads have a 'lot' of useful information on how to, what with, & where it can be found.

Also, voice your concerns if you feel it necessary to MSI Tech. Support. Depending on your location, USA & UK http://ocss.msi.com/ other areas of the world http://support.msi.com/ Keep in mind, MSI is 'very' aware of our concerns, & they are making changes. I've seen them on a couple of recent boards I have assembled.

Funny you should ask... At about the same time that the Xserve was discontinued, we also lost our channel rep of nearly 14 years. Right now we are not sure who our rep is. I have however, sent this to as many people in Apple that I could think of. And I plan on continuing to reach out to as many as possible.
The sad reality is that this decision is impacting customer deployments and the future of customer installations. Apple strives for market share and loves to tout those numbers. But the numbers we fought for over these last eight years are going to disappear.
As much as this impacts our business, we are making up for it in enterprise deployment of systems. We will survive and lead in our geographic area. I do not fear that. But OS X Server is a UNIX server and with it has come all of the benefits of a UNIX system, including legitimacy in a data center. The Intel Xserve cemented this reality because of its hardware configuration and form factor. Yes, we have G4 and G5s still in service. But those are mostly in all Mac shops that understand the benefits and can work around the buzz word limitations. But fortune 100/500 IT departments did not really get on board until the release of the Intel server.
Still beating the drum to raise awareness. Spread the word and talk to your Apple reps.
Also, ask about the direction that Apple's Enterprise team is going. If the news I hear is correct, then our fears about all things pro and enterprise going away are likely true.

IOH Temp x58 Pro-e Confusion

Hi,
I've read most of the threads on this topic, but my IOH temp is at 115 C where most others are at 70C. I'm not even overclocking or anything. I contacted tech support and they said it runs hot but the temp is fine. I don't really buy that. I asked if I return it for another would I see the same temp and they said yes. Mine seems newer as it has screws rather than spring loaded clips to hold the heatsink. Two questions:
1. The Intel spec is 100 C and mine is much above it. Doesn't that mean something else is wrong?
2. Would reseating the heatsink with AS5 really help get this to a managable range?
Any advice would be appreciated!

Most seem to have had some success to a lesser or greater extent. Some even resorted to fitting after market heat sinks. The question remains, does that void the guarantee?
If that temp of yours is real, then I would most certainly be worried as well. If the Intel spec states 100, then that is 15% beyond. I don't know what that will do to your component lifetime.
Basically you have two options, swop the board with the retailer or take the technical route and try and fix it yourself based on the expertise and feedback from the forum feedback.
May I ask you how good your airflow is through the case. Part of the heat build up could be the lack of proper airflow. Secondly what CPU cooler are you using? If its the standard Intel, then I can only recommend an aftermarket cooler with better thermal conductivity and heat extraction. The i7 combo does run hotter than previous Intel platforms and extra cooling has to be a consideration.
What do your other temperatures reflect, i.e. CPU, Cores, MB etc for comparative purposes.

IOH temps higher after new CPU cooler on my X58 Pro

Hi
I have a X58 Pro with 12GB OCZ Platinum 1333 RAM + i7 920 + Antec EA500W. The stock cooler was making too much noise so I installed a new Thermaltake ISG 300 cooler. My IOH temps jumped from 57 to 82C on idle. I have an Antec Solo case which should have good airflow. Nothing else changed ....
thanks
-D

I have seen other boards with similar big coolers (albeit from other companies like Zalman) but the IOH wasnt this hot. I will definitely try the Spotcool and see if that works. My goal was to simply get rid of the loud noise of the stock cooler.
Quote from: Henry on 01-December-09, 11:35:59
Looking at other manufacturers X58 boards those heat sinks don't appear to be much different so how is it that MSI is the only one you need to feel that way. You make a modification then you need to think about the other things that mod may have an effect on. There are other coolers that would have done the job without affecting designed airflow by much if any. If you change the designed airflow characteristics then you must compensate for that. In that case an Antec Spotcool would do it.

Normal operating temp

Hi all,
Quick question. What's the normal operating temp of a Powerbook G4 (I believe I have the FW 800 model) after it's been running for a while? Mine gets particularly hot (140 F according to the SysStat widget) and it's just occuring to me that perhaps my fan is broken. Is there anyway I can tell if the fan is broken? Thanks.

Hi Elizabeth..
You can do the hardware check if you think that your fan is too laud. But 140F is completly normal if you PB is working hard. I also posted similar post here when I got my PB, but then some guy wrote that it's normal when the machine is used for long time and with high load. He also wrote that Apple somewhere claims that it will never go over 143F or something like that.... anyways when I monitored mine it realy didn't exceed that number he wrote... so you dont have to worry... I use my PB for music production (at least trying to make someting and it is constantly hot and also sometimes in bad ventilated places and in a year of useage I never had a single problem with it.

Normal operating temps. for MacPro2,1, 3GHz Xeon, 8 core?

Does anyone know where I can find a chart or a list of normal operating temps. for the MacPro2,1, 3GHz Xeon, 8 core?
I can't seem to find anything online. Thanks for any help.

I think Hardware Monitor would tell you what and may have a database.
Intel obviously. Just look up the processor for TCASE and TJMAX
More interested in what YOURS are and FBDIMM temps are often the most helpful.
Considering how many people are upgrading theirs to X5355s, redoing thermal paste, there is a lot of info out there.

IOH Temps

Hi All,
I've started to have issues with the Temps on the IOH. I have read most of the info on the forums and have tried cleaning the chips and AS5 them with 3m bolts and nuts. Temp is a little better but can still hit 80c during gaming...
The only thing I didn't do was remove the chip protector on the heatsink to polish it. Is this the next step and what will happen if I remove it?
Thanks!

Speaking of temps. I have noticed with Speedfan, and OCCT I m getting tmpin0 of 127!, now I do not understand why, since CPU-z HWmoniter is telling me my tmpin0 is 31 now and a max of 35? Now is OCCT measuring something different than HWmoniter? I do not get those reading with the other programs I am running. Any suggestions to see if I can resolve this or if it is an error.

What are the normal operating temps for a G5 Quad Core Power Mac Tower?

I asked this within another thread but I am afraid it will get buried and think it deserves its own item.
I just downloaded Temperature Monitor and have been looking at the data. I have no idea how to interpret the figures and there are no listings of specified upper and lower limits even though there is an area where those numbers should go.
The numbers are constantly in flux, going up and down a degree or two but here is a recent example from a screenshot taken while I was running WORD (but not working on any document), Terminal, Apple Mail, Firefox (two windows open), Temperature Monitor, Preview, Dashboard and Finder:
Air Tunnel 99.5 degrees F
Air Tunnel Heatsink 92.8 degrees F
CPU A Core 1 Diode 107.5 degrees F
CPU A Core 2 Diode 107.8 degrees F
CPU B Core 1 Diode 108.0 degrees F
CPU B Core 2 Diode 111.5 degrees F
Drive Bay 87.8 degrees F
Graphics processor chip 131.0 degrees F
Main Logic Board Air Inlet --- (this is always missing)
Main Logic Board Backside 108.7 degrees F
Memory Controller Diode 133.9 degrees F
SMART Disk WDC WD2500JS-41M.... 104.0 degrees F.
The icon for the program, in the dock, gives me an ever changing number that is perhaps an overall reading - an average. Right now the number is 106.4 degrees F (taken some minutes after the screenshot providing the above data). Always in flux.
Do any of these temps look alarming? And HOW and WHERE do I find out what the temperatures SHOULD be?
PS I have APPLE RAM.

If you want to find out whether a sensor value is within normal limits, please select the menu item Window > Show Overview (or press Apple+1) and look for the limits in the third and fourth column of the sensor table. They contain the known official limits Apple has specified for readings acquired at the given sensor locations. If no limit is given in the table, this either means that it does not make sense to specify a limit for this particular sensor (e.g. the battery capacity should not have limits), or Apple hasn't published any specifications for this sensor.
Note that all up-to-date Macintosh models automatically shut down or enter sleep mode if one of the readings exceeds a critical limit. For this reason it is impossible that your computer can be damaged in an overtemperature condition.

As old as your iMac is, have you cleaned out the dust? Dust buildup can lead to over heating issues. Remove any and all things plugged into it including the power cord, Remove the RAM access grille. Vacuum all openings starting with the RAM access area (air intake). Vacuum all ports and plugs, DVD slot and the opening across the top of the rear of the body. Blow compressed air through all your openings and vacuum again to remove any dust you loosend. Reinstall the RAM grille. Plug in the keyboard and mouse if not blue tooth. Insert power cord...

What is a normal operating temp for MBP

My MBP (2.33GHz/3GB RAM) is huffing and puffing when I'm running a lot of apps. I installed a temp widget and its been above 160 farenheit and is typically at 130-140 degrees normally. This strikes me as a bit high. I've seen a few rumblings of heat issues, but nothing concrete nor anything indicating what a normal temp is.
thoughts, resources, ideas?
Thanks
MBP Mac OS X (10.4.10)

The range of temperature will probably be from around 30ºC (sleeping) to 85ºC depending upon CPU load. Thermal shut-off should occur at 125ºC. The fans idle at 2,000 RPM and have a maximum speed of 6,000 RPM. The fans' speed will increase as the core temperature rises in order to cool the computer.
Your computer seems to be operating within nominal parameters.

Normal Operating Temp. for MBP running windows

Hi,
Does anybody know what the normal operating temperature for a mbp 2.5, running xp professional is?
The load is just normal office stuff, eclipse, tomcat, explorer..
I've installed speedfan to monitor the temp, it normally stays around 61 C
This seems high to me.
Anybody know what the official normal temp is.
Cheers....

I found temps were generally much higher when running windows. The fans kicked in much later than i would have liked. I was running vista not xp.
I found if i ran smcFanControl (set to 3000rpm) in OS X then reboot into windows the fans would retain the new settings and windows would run a lot cooler.
Hope it helps a bit.
