Msi 970 CPU temps with HWiNFO

Hi, iv just built my gaming PC and wanted to run some monitoring software to check temps, however this is my first time using an msi bored and trying to understand what temps are what in HWiNFO is driving me mad, im looking at that 51c wondering what the f**k is that? im stuck between socket and NB any help would be great and i can actual enjoy gaming if its nothing to worry about. all temps are idle after being on for 6hrs.

I've been comparing different software against the BIOS and MSI Command center i think it goes like this
TMPIN0 = CPU
TMPIN1 = NB
TMPIN2= SYSTEM/MOBO
After gaming for a few hours last night i decided to do the good old fashion touch test and found the back of the mobo behind the CPU was warm but nothing major, same with the actual CPU, the NB heat sink however was hot to touch and the TMPIN1 was at 68c, so i am thinking that this has to be the higher reading right? as it was the only thing on the bored that felt anywhere near 68c.
That could very well be correct. The problem is that they tend to change between various motherboards. I took the most common patterns I was seeing in posts relating to it.
Personally, if the CPU isn't getting incredibly hot, I wouldn't worry about it too much. The northbridge is always under stress due to the architecture, and it's not surprising that it would be running quite a bit warmer than the CPU.
They were made to handle heat that high, and since even under a heavy CPU load, the northbridge won't change that much, I wouldn't worry about that too much. If you are worried, you can always look into trying to provide more cooling to that area of the board via a directed fan right at that heatsink (if there isn't one already).

CPU temp with Zalman9700 and MSI P965 Platinum ?

Hi.
its funny. My old Asrock DUAL-VSTA showed CPU temp and other temps in programs like HMonitor and Speedfan but this
MSI dosent show anything about CPU in any programs ?
I must say, i was a little confused when i installed the board because there was 2 CPU fan slots, one with 4 pins and one with
3. I have a Zalman CNPS 9700 LED, very nice fan btw. Shoulden this fan be controled by the CPU automaticly ? i do have a
fan regulator in the end of the wire outside the cabinet. I have it on the bag side of the computer case so i can turn it op and
down. But i think i read someware that it could be controled automaticly. Is that right ?
And what about the 3 and 4 pins CPU fan slots on the board. Right now i cant remember in witch of the 3 or 4 slot i installed
the fan in to. But anybody know witch slot is the right one for my CPU fan ?

Listen. Forgot to say.
I'm still a little little bit concerned about 40c-41c idle. but but.
Relax, it's quite alright...
Quote
But what i was trying to say is. I have 3 running SATA drives also and only the stock (Normal) 120 fan that came with the Antec case.
1 fan, the Zalman 9700LED and the PSU fan ofcause. and then OC at 300FSB. Could that be why i'm at 40c idle ?
All the drives + only 1 fan in the case ? i mean. I'm not shure the standard 120 fan that came with the Antec case is good enough.
Any sugestions ?
My case has three 120mm case fan in addition to the 120mm power supply and the Zalman fan, five of them altogether. The Antec P180 case has separate compartment for the hard drives and the power supply, which made a big difference from the temperature's perspective. The box also has four hard drives and I do not OC; I did try, but I didn't see much of a difference and shut it off.

btw. what is a good stress test apps to test my cpu temp with on max load ?
The Orthos Stress Prime is pretty good and so is Intel's TAT; the link I've posted earlier has more information.

Higher Idle CPU Temps with Newest BIOS update for T430s/T430

My idle temperatures of my CPU as reported by TPFC .62 before the UEFI Bios update were hovering around low 40's to high 40's. Now after the UEFI BIOS update the Idle temps as reported by TPFC .62 is a lot higher. It idles anywhere between 47 to high 55's. I noticed this immediately I updated the BIOS. Anyone else notice this???
Please fix Lenovo

Hi goshem
If you try to do a stress test with Prime95, will it exceed 90C?

High CPU temps with HT turned off?!

There is a piece of hardware in my system that does not like hyperthreading, so I recently turned it off. To my surprise, the CPU temperature went up by 8-10 C!! Shows up in powerfan, and in the system temp readings in the setup screen, so I think the temps are real. Any idea why such a dramatic temp increase??

My hardware live in a harmony.... . I read somewhere, I'd be able to increase FSB, if "HT" is disable.... . I did it, but I achieved nothing, but high temps (idle 47"C very stable )? Then, I was shocked and turned on "HT"?
I guess it is because when HT is off, the CPU is more loaded..... , but I am not sure ?

Vcore and CPU Temp

Hi Guys,
Is it safe to run the CPU Vcore at 1.6V for long term day to day use ? I need this voltage to keep my system stable (i.e. running 2 X Prime 95 for over 24 hrs). On some fourms, I was told it is ok so long as the voltage don't go above 1.65V yet on another fourm, I was told never to exceed 1.58V. Not too sure which one to trust so will just try on this MSI fourm
Has anyone actually measure the CPU temp with an external temperature probe and compare the result with the temp. reading off the mobo (i.e. thru' corecentre, Speedfan etc) ? I'm just wondering how accurate are those temp reported by the MSI mobo ...
My current temp via Speedfan running 2 X P95 (100% load):
CPU: 53C-54C
System Temp: 32C
Room Temp: 24C
NB: 51C
If I switch off my aircon, my CPU temp could shoot up to 57C to 58C at room temp of 28C-29C.
I think the above temp is a bit on the high side (as compared to ASUS board) hence I'm questioning the accuracy of the mobo temp reading...
Here is my rig:
P4 2.4C @ 3.2 GHz
MSI 875P NEO FIS2R
Thermalright SP-94 with 80mm TT SF2 Fan
Corsair 3200LL PRO 512Mb X 2
Ratio 5:4
RAM Timing: 2-3-2-5-8
PNY FX5800
2 X WD 120GB SATA HDD
TDK DVDRW0404N Dual Format Writer
Audigy 2 Sound Card
480W Antec True Power
Thermaltake Xaser III V2000A Alu Casing

Ok, I've taken out the Audigy card, and no, I still need to pump up my Vcore to 1.6V to keep Prime 95 stable.
If Vcore = 1.525V, 2 X P95 fails within the first hour.
If Vcore = 1.5875V, 2 X P95 fails after 13 hrs.
So I guess my mobo is not affected by the Audigy card

But than again ... I need this card to play Need For Speed - Underground
Just wonder if the Audigy card is so power hungry that it draw so much current from the mobo that one need to increase the Vcore and Vdimm to keep things stable...
With the Audigy card, my voltage settings are:
Vcore: 1.6V
Vdimm: 2.7V
VAGP: default voltage
DOT: Disabled
MAT: Turbo
Will see if I could maintain at default Vcore if i remove the card.
Thanks for replying.

I can get very stable overclocks with my 2.4C at much lower VCore and VDimm voltages if I just remove the Audigy card.
I have to keep my VCore at 1.70V with the Audigy installed. My CPU is idle at 32-35 degrees, so I'm not too worried about it dying on me (plus, it's only a cheap 2.4C).
Just to give you an idea, I'm running the following:
2.4C at 3.0 GHz (250 FSB)
MSI 875P-FIS2R (BIOS: 1.8)
1GB Mushkin Level II (5:4, 333MHz @ 2-2-2-6)
SoungBlaster Audigy
DOT: Disabled
MOT: Fast
VCore: 1.70V
VDimm: 1.85V
VAGP: 1.70V
Now, *WITHOUT* the Audigy card, the same system works stable at:
DOT: Disabled
MOT: Ultra-Turbo
VCore: 1.60V (possibly even lower)
VDimm: 1.70V
VAGP: 1.60V
I know it sounds hard to believe, but *Reilly* will definitely back this claim up. Just take the Audigy card out and see what your results are. ALSO, I have read postings in ASUS board forums that PCI slot 3 works much better with the Audigy than any other. Can't confirm that, though.
Post your results!!!!

It ALL works (mostly)!!! CPU Temp Monitor??

Just finished assembling my new system and loading it up this weekend, and amazingly, it works. Even with CL3 ram it runs much faster than a P4 1.8A on SiS 645/DDR333 board I had. I am amazed at how big a difference there is in the way XP Pro loads and retrieves data and how smooth it sets up. I did not have to load ANY drivers! A huge step forward from 98SE.
The only issue appears to be that the temperature monitor is out to lunch (So was my last board the SiS645 one, it did the exact same thing) for both CPU and Case. I installed a seperate case system to monitor temp and it gives me 22 deg C after I rearranged the airflow from the fans. I am thinking of drilling out the stock heatsink and inserting one of these temp monitors to real time monitor the CPU.
Has anyone come up with a good way to really monitor CPU temps with this board??

Hey,
I loaded up MBM (after I figured out what it was and where to find it). It seems pretty good: The case reads 37 deg C (my independent sensor reads 27 deg and bios says 47) and CPU reads 47 deg (bios says 57).
The real questions is : My -12 volts reads -6, and I have played with the settings to find the right sensor, and every sensor I select changes all the voltage readings. Is there a specific selection for readings that sets this up right?
Also, I found a Lian-Li temp sensor with thin tape probes that is designed to be set between CPU/Heatsink to provide real time accurate monitoring for chips (theres two, so I plan on doing CPU and NB), so I will have real data instead of hoping it is right. (19.00 US). Nice little 3.5" or 5.25" models avail in black, silver or beige.

Sensing CPU temp on SL510?

hello
Is the SL510 ThinkPad designed to allow checking the CPU temp (with, e.g., Speedfan)?
thank you!

Q: does the SL510 have a miniature fan inside--or, do laptops in general have room for a miniature fan?
See the Hardware Maintenance Manual: http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles_pdf/60y3635.pdf steps 1040 and 1070 for pictures of the fan. These fans are custom-designed for each ThinPad model and have integral heat sinks and ducts.
As for heat sensors AFAIK they're integrated into modern Intel CPU chips and I'd imagine other makes of CPU and GPU chips.

How to reduce from 5º to 8ºC CPU Temp on your MSI K7N2 Delta!

I've installed this tweak last week and it is working very stable since then. It decreased my Idle CPU Temp from 42º to 36º and Overload from 54º to 48º:
Just go: http://forums.pcper.com/showindex.php?t=280137
AMD ATHLON XP 2600+ 12.5x333mhz 1.65V ~OC 11.5x400mhz 1.55V

Dual Fan 450W Troni Power Suppy

It seems that the link to the tweak is broken, I've found another one:
http://ftp://ftp.vector.co.jp/pack/win95/hardware/other/wpcre14.exe
This is what the article say:
Just tried it for the first time..It works GREAT
My idle temps are now 26c, down from 34c. That's 8C. I can have Winamp, IE and messenger running and CPU temps don't get by 29c. Once i fire up, SETI though...I get back my regular Load temps at 39c.
Some of you probably know about it, already....here's for thousand others that don't.
This tweak can drop your idle CPU temps down as much as 8c, maybe more...depending on your system.
First thing you need to do is download WPCRSET & WPCREDIT.
They're both in this zip.
- Extract to a directory.
- Run "INSTDD.EXE". Click Install. When done, you will be prompted for restart. Hit Yes! -
- Then go back to the folder with extracted files, and open "WPCREDIT.EXE"
- A ms-dos like window will pop-up. Move the blinking block (with arrow keys or your mouse pointer) until it says Offset 6F at the buttom. Now, click on the two digit number where it says "HEX", and change it to 1F (The Hex for Offset 6F would have previously been 9F, 8F or something else). Hit Set.
Your idle temps should now start falling.
You would have to do this hack/tweak everytime you rebooted your computer if it wasn't for WPCRSET.
- Go to directory and run "WPCRSET.EXE"
- Look at the top of the window: Enable select "Start" and make sure Device is on "enable"
- Then click Add. Enter 6F for the register, and 1F for the data
- Click Ok and you'll be prompted to restart.
Once, you rebooted, open WCREDIT again and see if the 6F register is still on 1F. If it is, then that's it..You're all done.
Here's a Screenie of how it should be:
This only brings your idle temps down, and not your full load temps
It should work for all nforce2s, and use at your own risk
Check your nf7-s for CPU Disconnect. Most other nforce2 motherboards do not have this feature in the bios...so this tweak might prove useful.
READ THE WHOLE THREAD BEFORE TRYING THIS!
If you run a Distributed Computing project...then obviously this would be of no use to you

It activates the C1 (and maybe the C2) function Athlon XP CPU's support. Most mainboard brands have this feature as an option in the bios you can enable and disable. I just found out that EPoX doesn't have that feature. So what you're doing is just using a direct reg tweak to activate it. It's not like you're forcing anything, the Athlon XP chips are made to support this feature so it shouldn't do any damage.
When the CPU is idle the mainboard will send a command to the CPU that will cause a part of the CPU to be deactivated (and therefore not produce any heat). That's why this tweak only works on the idle temp and doesn't change anything on the load temp. Ofcourse as soon as the CPU power is needed the deactivated part will become active again, so it should have any influence on the performance of the CPU.
Strangely, my full load temp has decreased 6º C degrees too.

What's the deal with my cpu temp! I need a HSF!

I have an MS-6734 (KM4M-L) with the stock HSF & 2500+ barton cpu. corecenter (the new version 1.5.8.0) reports (running nothing but IE) my cpu temp at 57C. (not overlocked.) I had to reseat the cpu to make this board POST when I received it, and it had the typical cheap pink thermal pad that once i removed the HSF may have taken most of its effectiveness away? i keep reading how people's cpu temps are in the 30's and it blows me away... my wife has an athlon 1.2ghz on an msi ms-6340 that also lacks any real paste and her temps show idle 53-55C as well. Do I just need some good thermal past (like arctic silver?) to bring them down in the 40's? I have my finger on the buy button on newegg for the paste but am also looking for a good HSF for my 2500+. With this current mobo I am not able to overclock it (no settings in bios and corecenter locks it because i'm using onboard video) but i do play lots of games, where my cpu temp currently gets into the mid 60's.
Anyone with this mobo know if the Thermalright slk800 will fit, i'm also in a small case with the psu about an inch (25mm) from my stock hsf, i've read that some people have issues with fitment with the SLK series contacting caps on the mobo, but their website shows it to be compatible with all motherboards. I'm also considering the Tt volcano 9 since it's cheap and i'm 99% sure it will fit. Any other ideas would be good, i've read the Vantec Aero is good too, but some people had issues with the vibration. I just don't want to order up a fancy new hsf and have it not fit in my cramped case and matx mobo!
thanks for any advice

hi
i am having a problem with a MSI KM4M-L with Athlon Xp 2200+ processor,
the problem is the system shutsdown while working on the pc, this problem is occuring in 2 same configuration pcs now-a-days///
when i tried to check the temperature in the BIOS , i got the problem is in the Temperature part,
as the CPU temp varies from 68 to 70 degrees,
and the CPU Fan speed is 3245 RPM
the HSF is the original one which came with the processor,
what should i do to decrease the temperature ?
what should be the CPU fan speed ?
and any other setting which i should watch ?

Msi a55 e33 + r7 260x Graphics problem + amd cpu temps?

Hello, i have some problems with my new build
My system is,
cpu: amd athlon 750k
mobo: a55e33 msi (bios 11.4)
Gpu: sapphire r7 260x
ram: corsair vegeance 4gb
psu: corsair vs450
1) The problem is like this, whenever i don't do anything on my pc the monitor goes black and the pc crashes sound stucks some times and i have to reboot... tried several gpu drivers some crashes right away and some are like this.. is this a gpu issue ? Anyone with same experience ?
2) Second problem my cpu temperature is inaccurate and the only program that display a temp is cpuid hwm, cpu idles at 40-50c and goes as far as 80c based on the program... that was with stock cooler, upgraded cooler with an alpenfohn sella (deepcool rebrand) and the problem persists, temps were similar even with older bios version and the same older version board... is this a cpu problem ?
ps. Prime 95 for 4 hours hwm indicates 80c touched cooler with bare hand multiple times during this period not even near this temp even at the lower end of the cooler ...
thanks 4 any suggestions

Hi,
my idea is that your power supply is not efficient enough for r260x.
Try without the graphics card.
About the CPU temps, try to reapply the thermal paste. (when you've exchanged the cooler, have you cleaned the CPU?)
It also might be the problem with the software (or BIOS). Spend couple of $ and buy an external CPU temperature checking tool (don't know proper name of it).
Power supply is enough for the gpu probably driver issues as other users have the exact same problem with the same card, cpu temps are definitely mobo/bios or cpu related yes yes i cleaned the cpu i cleaned everything and reapplied ic diamond .. temps are the same with stock cooler and aftermarket cooler can't be coincidence + no program indicates temps other than hwm
Take notice i had 2 msi a55e33 one with bios 11.1 and another one which came with 11.4 from factory
Conclusion ? or the cpu is broken or the mobo indicates wrong temperatures

Msi Z68 GD80 (G3) strange Cpu Temp.reading

Hello all,this is my first post here.
I just purchased an Msi Z68 GD80(G3) and I think I have strange cpu temp. reading as seen in the Hw monitor.My i5 2500k idle/load CPU temp. is equal or higher than core temps which is strange for an intel cpu,as an intel user for years I believe it should be 10-12C lower than core temps.(my previous mobo was giga p67 ud5 and never had this issue).Double checked my cpu cooler-spire thermax 2-no problems.Updated to last bios-no change-Any recommendations/solutions welcomed here.
Rest of my system as follows:
Asus gtx560
4*2 gb gskill ddr3 ram
1tb samsung hd
high power 650w power supply

Have you checked what the CPU temp shows in BIOS just after start up ? How does that compare with the HW temp.
HW Monitor's temp interpretation may just not be calibrated for the specific Fintek chip used on your MB. Maybe you want to check with the HW monitor home site as well.
How do the temps compare with whats read/displayed in Speedfan, Real Temp or Core Temp ?
If they are all similar, then it could just be a badly calibrated sensor on the board as well.
Do some comparative testing and see if there are any differences at all.
Also check with MSI technical to see if they are aware of a general tendency with regards to this, or whether a BIOS revision may have addressed such an issue. >>How to contact MSI.<<
Just recheck your heatsink seating again and maybe even reseat the CPU and do a full socket pin inspection at the same time.

MSI 970 GAMING CPU Voltage

Hello all.
I have a problem with my CPU voltage and OC'ing.
First little backround, I did have Gigabyte GA-ma770-UD3 (rev2.1) before i upgraded to MSI 970 Gaming. I was able to OC The 1600T CPU to 4000MHz with 1.55V and it was prime95 stable 24h, but i kept CPU clock at 3800MHz 1.45V prime95 stable 24h as i didnt want to kill my CPU beacause of high voltage, oh and was using 4x1gb DDR2 900MHz.
Sooo. Now i've been playing with this new mobo, and im little confused. My CPU VCORE is 1.392V, voltage setting set AUTO on BIOS, my previous build with gigabyte mobo had this set to 1.350V on AUTO in BIOS.
Could the "wrong voltage" value be because of my prosessor is "AMD Processor Model Unknown" in CPU-Z and BIOS says the same.
Also the whole overclocking is not fun anymore, seems that i cant achieve any higher STABLE OC than 3700MHz and that takes too much voltage, around 1.5V.
I really feel that there is something wrong with the mobo or the bios, as i have tried OC'ing with my old motherboard and i can OC my CPU well better than with my current MSI 970 Gaming. And i think this mobo should do better or atleast equal to my old mobo.

you have to make sure that your CPU could be properly recognize in the bios first

K8TM-ILSR CPU temp changes with restart of computer

I have K8TM-ILSR motherboard with Athlon 64 3000+ NewCastle installed. My motherboard BIOS version is 1.5. I have Zalman 7000 CPU heatsink with fan speed fixed at 1350 RPM. Cool'n'Quiet is enabled.
I have noticed very strange behavior of CPU temperatures measured by MSI PC Alert 4.
Sometimes when I turned on my computer is my idle CPU temp around 29C and my cpuburn CPU temp around 47C.
Another time when I turned on my computer both temperatures are around 15C higher. The results don't change as long as I don't turn the computer off and on again. It's completely random, but once the computer is turned on it sitcks with the either first or second values.
Other conditions: optical drive is empty, hard disk has no job, Cool'n'Quiet is working, CPU fan has 1350 RPM all the time. case fan is working normaly (Antec Aria case).
Did anybody else noticed anything similar. What could be wrong here?

hello.
your die temp for CPU is 70º C
dont use pc alert. its report offen wrong values. use speedfan instead. Cool'n'Quiet is maked to save power consumation on CPU. if CPU is not working hard its consume lower power and there is no necesery to be cooled with maximum power and your cooling system is slowing RPM automaticly. when some apllication need more CPU power think over 90% your CPU will be maximum to actual powering automaticly also is correspond for cooling system. so all is fine dont have reason to trouble.

A process by the name of avgcmgr is loading the CPUs by up to 100 percent. At least 5 of them have appeared on the activity monitor. I've removed them with forced quit but they return! How do I permanently get rid of them? CPUA temp is now 194F.

Hi Ray-
I'm having the exact same problem and have searched the web for hours looking for a solution (multiple spawned avgcmgr processes that consume cpu).
Did you find any solution?
