CPU temperatures (MSI X79A-GD45)

magmo · June 16, 2012

Hi

I just bought and installed the Extreme edition 2.50 and have some questions regarding the CPU temperature sensors. There are one sensor for the CPU, one for the CPU package and one for each CPU kernel, what reading is the one to look at when looking at CPU temperature, I've just installed a new CPU cooler/fan and I want to know if the CPU temperature is ok or not. Right now my CPU sensor read 39 degrees celcius (102F) and the CPU Package 64 degrees celcius (145F) and each CPU kernel around 62 degrees celcius (144F).

For Intel Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge processors it's best to watch the core temperatures, since they're generally more accurate than any other sensors.

FYI, core temperatures and CPU Package temperature are all measured by on-die CPU temperature diodes, while the "CPU" temperature is measured by the onboard sensor chip.

Regards,

Hi Fiery

Thanks for the info, do you have any reflections about the temperatures I have, are they low, high or normal?

Fiery · June 16, 2012

Motherboard temperature looks a bit high, but the rest of the temperatures are normal for a computer under load -- but high for a computer at idle.

magmo · June 16, 2012

Thats what I thought, this is when idle....

magmo · June 16, 2012

Update..

my cpu made a high pitch noise when it was in idle so I followed this advide ..

http://everythinghos...-pitched-noise/

This got rid of the high pitch noise from the cpu but it also made the temperature rise (the first image in my post), this really bothered me so I googled som more and found out that I could disable Intel C-State in the bios, after I did that I got the temperatures down by approximatly 15 degrees celcius and the high pitch noise from the cpu was also not present. It looks ok now, right?

Fiery · June 16, 2012

Much better now

Great, one more thing.... I noticed that the AIDA64 Extreme edition report that the motherboard temperature is 54 degrees celcius, but the bios reports 40 degrees celcius. Thats quite a difference, whats up with that?

AIDA64 may report another temperature readout as "Motherboard" temperature. Can you please check the temperature under Windows using MSI Control Center?

magmo · June 16, 2012

Hi

In control center - green power - system = 40 c

Fiery · June 16, 2012

Then please right-click on the bottom status bar of AIDA64 main window --> Sensor Debug --> ISA Sensor Dump. Copy-paste the full results into this topic.

Also right-click on the bottom status bar of AIDA64 main window --> Sensor Debug --> SMBus Dump (Full). Copy-paste the full results into this topic.

Using that data we can check what's going on about the temperature readings on your motherboard

Thanks,

Fiery
