- Unlikely readings of motherboard temperature
- Posted by Sergio Millich on February 3rd, 2005
I've recently built a pc from scratch. It has a Pentium 4 3.2GHz CPU on
a BOXD915PCY motherboard. So I've installed the Intel Desktop utilities
to monitor the CPU heat, and to my surprise the readings were as
follows:
CPU area: -14 deg.C, System Zone 1: 124 deg.C and System Zone 2: 125
deg.C.!?! I've
installed a Zalman CPU Heatsink-fan which should be efficient but not
to the point of bringing the CPU temperature bellow freezing point I
think, and with these onboard temperatures my motherboard should be
close to melting. Any suggestion as to why this is going on?

I've tried Speedfan as well, same result. I guess the sensors must be
damaged, maybe the weight of the heatsink-fan has bent the components or
something like that. All I can do is hope that the heatsink-fan does the job
as it should. There's no way you can tell if it is contact with the CPU when
you fix it to the motherboard.

I doubt the sensors are damaged. My board ead -13C when I first got it. There
was an updated BIOS that fixed that and a couple other things.

Important! your thermal diode may be damaged. check out this url.
