Platform Controller Hub = PCH

1. What indicates this?

2. What temperature it is normal?
3. Which is too high?

Kind Regards

PCH is the chipset component of your motherboard. It tends to run a bit hotter than processors, especially at idle. Anything above 80 Celsius is considered high for chipsets, and beyond 90 Celsius is considered critical.

I have an Asrock Z77 Extreme4 and my PCH Diode has never changed once from 43C. That doesn't seem correct. Not even one degree up or down.

Have you tried the latest beta version of AIDA64 Extreme Edition? It's available for download at:

After upgrading to this new version, make sure to restart Windows to finalize the upgrade.

If it's still stuck, then your motherboard may not be able to measure PCH temperature.

Hello Fiery,

I have a new PSU.

With the new PSU shows my

PCH Diode 59 °C - 64 °C .

Is it still harmless?

Regards
