Hi,
After freaking and doing my head in, adding extra fans, and trying to cool my motherboard that aida 64 is reporting my new ROG Maximus VIII Gene Z170 Motherboard temps 70c under load and 50-55c at idle. With constant spikes up and down from 24c to 55c within a second. I also notice there is also sharp spiking with the CPU temps as well i.e. 30 - 60c within a second or two at idle.
However, I have just noticed that the Asus AI suite 3 reports only 28c for the motherboard and it only goes up to 37c under load. The CPU temps rise as you would expect for idle and load with the AI suite. Note I am using a G19s keyboard with the LCD display, so I can see the temps at all times.
Since the AI suite 3 is giving me the readings I would normally expect, this leads me to conclude that perhaps there is an issue with AID64 and my motherboard. Thought I would report this.
