Z68A-G43 - Bios shows cpu temperature incorrectly - noisy fan - SOLVED

Hi
I have i7-2600 + Arctic Cooling Freezer Pro rev.2 and when I use Z68A-G43 (G3), the cpu temperature shown in the bios is around 20 degrees higher ( 52-53 degrees C ) , than while I am using the same components on MSI H67MA-E35 or Asus P8H61M-LE/USB3 (30 -32 degrees in both cases ) !
I use the same thermal paste and the cpu & heat sink are definitely seated properly.
The on-board sensors are fine as when Windows is loaded, programs like HWINFO, PCWizard show the right, much lower temperature .
It wouldn't bother me that much since I know that nothing is getting overheated (the heat sink is cold ) ,however, the higher bios indications make the cpu fan spinning much faster ( 2000 rpms + ), I cannot slow it down thus I get a lot of noise coming out from it .
I updated bios to the newest 2.3 ( btw brilliant tool by Svet ) but there was no improvement, I still get the high temps and no option to control the fan.

Just checked again, Smart Fan works at the bios level too, so just the temperature shown is wrong (50-52) instead of ~ 30. I am happy customer now. Thanks again for your help.
This is pretty normal behaviour, my bios temp is ~40°C - 42°C, whilst in Windows the idle temp is ~25°C (depending all on ambient temps).
There are 2 reasons given, which one is correct or if they are both correct, I dont know, but they told me that in BIOS, the cpu utilization is much higher then in idle Windows desktop and/or it is as Jack already described, that powersaving options are not enabled in BIOS, but doing such a good thing in Windows, that the cpu drops its temps significantly.
The reason for the higher BIOS temp then others, can be in the cpu itself, some are just plain hotheads, or have flaky temperature sensors, for instance one core of my cpu will always be at 62°C max, while the other three peak at ~71°C, it just will not go over 62°C.

Is there a way to change the CPU temperature at which fans kick in?

Well, the subject says it all. The fan in my MBP will not kick in until the CoreDuo reaches 94 C, and then drops it off to about 86-88 degrees. Normally, however, the CPU temp does not get higher than about 75 degrees, and most of the time it is below that.
However, reading from other posters, it appears that for several of the MBP the fans kick in at about 85 degrees, cool it off to below 80. I am thinking that the fans in my MBP not kicking in until 94 C could be due to:
1- Faulty temperature detection by some unit or another
2- Faulty fan (though a number of Hardware tests have not revealed anything, and I hear the fans loud and clear)
3- Different Temp monitors outputing slightly different readings (I am using Temperature Monitor. Another program, CoreDuo Temp gives the same reading)
Any help?

My guess would be that you have a particularly bad thermal paste job. If you can demonstrate at the store that the fans don't kick in before 95 C, you might be eligible for an exchange. My advice would be to go complain about it.
Ps. CoreDuoTemp and Temperature Monitor both use the speedit.kext, the latter just doesn't give credit.

Z68a-g43 g3 will not power on

brand new equipment for new build.
Motherboard: z68a-g43 g3
Both CPU & RAM are listed as compatible...
Processor: i7-3770
RAM: Corsair DDR3 32GB (8GB x4 sticks)
I have tried with full system, on ESD mat with minimal CPU, 1 Stick RAM (slot 1 per manual)
Nothing is displayed, no sound.
Powers up for 4 seconds - CPU and system fans spin
Powers off for 4 seconds
cycles through the power on and off until i pull the power
Any ideas on what the issue is?

Thank you.
Kind of iritating that the motherboard vendor lists all the CPUs it supports with no mention of having to first upgrade the BIOS.
I found the cheapest 1155 Sandy Bridge that is on their compatibility list:
Intel Celeron G530 Sandy Bridge 2.4GHz LGA 1155 65W Dual-Core Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics BX80623G530
It is $48 with free shipping off newegg. Add $10 for thermal paste... and I look at it that MSI owes me $50 for their misleading information.
... i was going to put the internal link to MIS's CPU list - but this forum does not allow links ... very limiting 'feature'
Again - I am thankful for your very helpful guidance.

How Far Off Is the CPU Temperature On A K9N6PGM2-V (MS-7309) Motherboard?

I have read on other sites that these boards have inaccurate cpu temperature readings in the bios. I am wondering how much these temperatures are off, if they even are. I have an AMD Athlon X2 4200+, Bios version 9.2. Thanks for your help.

Quote from: hunterman439 on 28-March-09, 22:54:04
Thanks for all replys,
Sometimes when I turn the computer on and go into the Bios the cpu temperature is already at about 115F. This isn't terrible or anything, but it seems a little hot for just starting the computer.
115 Fahrenheit = 46,1111111 graden celsius
That's quite normal, nothing to worry about, BIOS temps are always a bit higher then idle temps.
Please use C as everybody uses that in the forum, thanks.

K8TM-ILSR CPU temperature "not present"

I've received a replacement K8TM-ILSR after problems with RAM.
That's now fixed, but now in the Health Monitoring part of the BIOS, the CPU temperature reading is weird:
- at boot up the temperature starts in the 80 degrees C (that can't be right!)
- then it starts dropping, and after a minute or two reaches 20 degrees C and is still falling
- when it reaches 16 degrees C the reading disappears and is replaced by "not present"
So as the machine warms up, the CPU temperature actually drops. After a few hours of being switched on, returning to the BIOS still reveals CPU temperature "not present". Only if I reboot from cold do I get a reading, but the reading is always decreasing until it changes to "not present".
BIOS v1.4 was supposed to correct a problem with temperature reading - my motherboard has BIOS v1.5... so that can't be the problem, can it?
I'm wondering whether to send the motherboard back for a replacement while I still can.

Ah, one more thing: the temperature sensor is on the motherboard, and not in the CPU, correct? So if there is a problem it's with the motherboard not the CPU?

Abnormal CPU Temperature!?!

Hi all,
Recently built a new system based on the specs shown in my signature. Everthing seems to be installed correctly and when I was in BIOS, the CPU temperature was sitting at about 52 degrees C while system temperature wasn't much over 30. After installing Windows, I installed some of the MSI utilities on the CD that came with the motherboard, including PC Alert 4. I also installed my Graphics Card drivers and restarted my pc. After the restart, PC Alert popped up and I had hardly had a chance to watch the pretty fan animation spinning when I noticed the CPU temp was on 68 degrees C and then suddenly jumped to over 100!! The next second a dialog box popped up saying there was abnormal cpu temperature and that the pc would shut down. I left it overnight and then retried in the morning... The exact same thing happened... as soon as Windows had started up. Obviously I shut down at once, but am baffled as to why this is happening. I haven't had a chance yet to recheck the BIOS temperature readings, but I'm pretty sure that they will reflect a more normal temperature.
Any ideas as to what could be wrong? Is PC Alert 4 compatible with the MSI 975X Platinum PowerUp Edition motherboard? Could my PSU be too small (even though all the fans appeared to be spinning when trying the above)? Might it be an actual airflow/temperature issue, or could PC Alert be wrong? Any help would greatly be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hey I have this same problem I uninstalled PC Alert but the amusing thing is that PC Alert tells me my CPU is 168C and then Speedfan tells me it's -122C.... lol does anyone know a reliable program in which to check the CPU temps?

Coretemp reads the temps directly from the cpu and not from motherboard sensors.

K8T Neo-FSR showing incorrect CPU temperature

Hello. I recently purchased a K8T Neo-FSR, which came with BIOS v2.2 installed. For some reason, it wouldn't allow me to set my own memory timings (it always used the "safe and sane" SPD values, according to CPU-Z, regardless of any BIOS settings I tried). I wasn't about to sit back and let my expensive new memory go underclocked, so following some advice I found on an obscure German forum, I installed the v7.1 BIOS from MSI's global site. That fixed the timing issue, but now the board is reporting incorrect temperatures for my CPU. It usually fluctuates between 23-26c, but will occasionally rise to nearly 30c and then immediately drop back down again. Case temperature remains stable at 27c. When I first installed the board, the temps were right around 45c, almost 20 degrees higher, which seems a lot more accurate to me (though this was also before I upgraded the crappy heatsink).
Is this anything to be concerned about, and is the CPU temperature supposed to constantly fluctuate like that? I'm worried that if my fan fails or something else goes wrong, the sytem won't react until the temperature is 20 degrees OVER the safe limit. I have a feeling it interferes with the Cool n' Quiet functions, too, though my CPU fan (Thermaltake Venus 7) has its own built-in sensor and adjusts itself automatically anyway.
Aside from the temperature wackiness, the system is rock-solid and runs like a dream. Specs are in my signature.

There are 754 Venice's out there as NewEgg sold them at one point from what I gather as I was looking at what was the best 754 but settled for the Clawhammer.
I have just stopped using CoreCentre on my XP as it started to show extremely erroneous and frightening temps so I ran MBM5 in conjunction as well as used my Cases thermal probes and guess which one was wrong...?
This was after seating and reseating the cooler, CPU, memory many times and it was only on Asetek's forums that reminded me that I should maybe do some independant tests by taping probes on the cpu's board as close to the core as poss, a difference of twenty degrees no less.
CoreCentre seems to have got a bit lost and a tad annoyed as I cross checked after buying the components for a 1/2" inch custom watercooling setup.
Now this is the current temp and voltages I get:
The 45 degree high was me using Prime to "cook" the thermal paste as I had to reseat the Artic Freezer 64 as it had dropped a touch.
My ClawHammer is for some reason one of those that never had a heatspreader which of course leads to difficulties with such coolers as the Freezer 64 Pro. Does anyone know where I can get another spreader or should I just leave it...?
I am not going to o/c this CPU to be honest, since sorting the temps out and once the watercooling is on, 3.2Ghz is plenty good for me for the moment and bearing in mind the Neo's touchyness about settings in BIOS I am very much considering now to roll back the BIOS to 1.9 as it was 2.2 that started causing the problems.
As for the memory timings, my Neo is totally ignoring any attempts to change the timings of my memory, I had to part company with my XMS Crucial sticks because the Neo had all sorts of problems and running some of the best memory at DDR200 was pointless.

(Solved) P67A-G43 Won't OC After BIOS 5.4 (BIOS Shows OC, but CPU-Z Does Not)

After upgrading a P67A-G43 with BIOS 5.4 in preparation for a 3770k, the existing 2600k doesn't OC.
Setting the CPU ratio in BIOS shows the correct ratio in top right stats and in the ratio setting and, after disabling graphic splash, the correct multiplier is even shown on the POST. However, CPU-Z in the OS and benchmark results show only the stock 3.4.
In normal mode I tried 35, 37, 40, 44. OCG mode has the same problem. Although it show 42, CPU-Z shows only stock.
I can down-clock fine (and CPU-Z shows the correct down-clock ratio), but going above 3.4 is a non-starter.
[SOLVED]
If you disable Turbo, the core limits are not shown in the CPU settings. You have to enable Turbo, set the core limits, and then disable Turbo.

G41M-P25 / HW monitor F71889F - incorrect CPU temperature readings?

My old mainboard blew up (literally, the capacitators leaked) and I had it replaced with a G41M-P25. The tech guy also put a new CPU cooler on the board because for whatever reason he decided that my old one wouldn´t fit. From then on my PC became extremely unstable, according to various monitor programs the CPU temperature was ca. 60°C in idle mode and went up to 85°C (!) within 2 minutes with full CPU load then the board would shut down.
I went back to the store and complained and got a stronger cooler. The system runs stable now, but the CPU temperature readings are still quite high: ca. 50°C in idle, up to 68°C with full load. I double-checked the values in the BIOS monitor and it shows the same temperatures. But the heat sink is cool (way below body temperature) and when I touch the spot where it is sitting on the CPU it is cool, too.
So... what are the chances that the HW monitor is reporting an incorrect CPU temperature? Is there any known issue with the mainboard G41M-P25 and the built in HW monitor Fintek F71889F? SpeedFan also reports quite high temperatures for "temp2" under full load (up to 80-90°C), which seems to be the mosfet temperature - but I know that SpeedFan is not completely to be trusted. I just worry about the CPU temperature, according to the Intel datasheet it should be ca. 63°C at most.
My system:
Mainboard MSI G41M-P25
CPU Intel Pentium D 2.8GHz
The Pentium D is known for getting hot fast, but on the other hand the cooler is already pretty strong and like I said a touch test revealed that the area near the CPU is way below body temperature, so nowhere near 68°C. In comparison the temperature reported for my graphics card is 50-60°C which seems to be correct because it actually is hot and the air surrounding it is warm, too. Should I just ignore the temperature readings? Or is this a problem which can possibly be fixed with a BIOS update? Or maybe complain again and have the mainboard replaced?

Well, I used Speedfan. Problem is when under load temp2 hits about 80°C thermal throttling occurs which makes my processor useless for gaming. Because of that, I changed processor for my old P4 3,0GHz and OC'ed it a little (@3,27GHz). Temps are similiar, but lower than 80°C. Here is log from Speedfan after 2 mins CPU torture:

Z68A-G43 (G3) - No BIOS - No Video - Fan Runs

Z68A-G43 (3)
Intel i5 3550
I have built many systems over the past 25 years, so I'm no newbie.
At first the system starts, but there is no BIOS, and the CPU Fan stops after 2-3 seconds. Then it restarts by itself, stops, etc.
There is nothing installed but the PSU, CPU, CPU Cooler, and Memory. The MB is not in a case, but is sitting on clean cardboard.
I have tried brand new Corsair DDR3, new Kingston, 1 stick, 2 stick, 4 stick, no sticks - problem remains.
When I install new Memory, then try to start up, the system lags for 5-6 seconds, as if it is testing the memory to figure out what is present. Then the Fan runs, stops, runs again, etc.
I have removed the PSU and all its cables, and shorted the CMOS for several seconds. I have removed the PSU, then the Battery entirely, and shorted the CMOS. Nothing helps.
I'm out of ideas.
I have also tried two Monitors, both known to be good.
I plan to try another new PSU, but hold little hope that the PSU is the issue. It is a Corsair 430W, and should have no problem running the MB, PSU, and Memory.
I have no Optical Drive, no HD installed.

Did you buy this board new or used?
New. But it's been 50 days, so Newegg isn't likely to take it back.
MSI says they'll update the BIOS for me, so off it goes tonight by Priority Mail.
I hope it gets back to me well before Christmas, or my son will be very disappointed with Santa.

K9N Platinum - Wrong CPU Temperature in BIOS

Hi, I have a K9N Platinum (7250-020) with the latest 1.3 BIOS and an AMD X2 3800+. The CPU Temperature in the BIOS has a negative sign in front of it, and it seems to always report -48*C. I tried the latest nVidia nTune and it was reporting the CPU temperature to be 208*C, which is absolutely impossible...
Does anyone have the same problem? I searched around and it seems I'm not the only one, but I still cannot understand if it affects only some K9N Platinums or all...
Thanks.

I assume you are talking about checking voltages as reported by the BIOS in the HW Monitor page, not physically checking them with a multimeter, correct?
I'll take a look at the numbers in the BIOS, but last time I checked they were ok.
As for raising the issue with MSI, eventually I will, even if they ask you soooooo many questions (for good reasons, I know...) that it would take me half an hour to fill that form...
I've checked with both and software is a little out from what a multimeter state's. Only check with a multimeter if your happy to do so. http://forums.extremeoverclocking.com/showthread.php?t=137886 offer good advise if using a multimeter .....
The only issue I see is the AUX connector for 3.3v with ATX2.0 spec (Modular cables etc)

TheCleaner:
CAUTION: This test involves using probes with the computer ON. Please only do this if you feel competent enough to be dealing with electricity. If you short rails, you could risk damaging the PSU and possibly your components. I cannot be held responsible if something goes wrong, this is merely a guide. If you feel any concern, please post BEFORE doing this, and I will be glad to help.
Contacting MSI would be good to let them know of the problems your having

KT4 Ultra - cpu temperature with 1.4 bios

Hello,
this´s my first post; I need some advice with the cpu temperature in Bios, with the CPU alt option disabled in power managment, the temps are 3 to 4 degrees lower than the mobo has the 1.3 Bios. Some times the system temp. is 1 or 2 degrees higher than cpu. I should expect this difference with that option enabled just like coolerXP in windows.
Does anyone know wich bios is the accurate one?
Thank you.

The previous BIOS releases did have some temperature mesurement issues and 1.4 was meant to address them however people are reporting varrying temps now so we need to collect more data.
