GA-P55A-UD5 Temprature

[noldor]

Hi.
My system is the following:

GA-P55A-UD5 (rev 1.0) (Bios F5)
2xOCZ3G1600LV2G  (2x2GB 1600Mhz 1.65V)
Intel i7 870 2.9Ghz
Zalman 7500CU Fan
ASUS ATI 4670 DDR3
Thermaltake (VJ30001W1Z) Chasis (with 3 good quality chassis fans)

The thing is my motherboard temprature is stable at 39C-43C degrees while the room temprature is about 32C... Even if the temprature is stable at that values, the values seemed a little high to me. Is these values are normal values for this motherboard?

NOTE : I increased the DRAM voltages to 1.64V because the motherboard was showing them as 1066Mhz. I dont know if this effects the heating on the motherbord or not.

Any increase of voltage will affect the temperature but yours don't seem to be too bad considereing the ambient of 30 degrees. You didn't say wheter that was at load or not but I am taking it that it was just at quiescent state. By the way I think you will find that your graphics card has DDR5 not 3.

Thanks for the reply.

The 39C-43C range is what i've seen at minimum and maximum. I mean even if PC is in a high loaded state or it is in a pending state, i've never seen a temprature value out of this range. But if you say these values are ok considering to ambient tmprature, that makes me more relax. Because it was really weird for me to see the processor and the motherboard tempratures at the same values.

And i see i've written my graphics card model wrong. It is a 4670, not a 4870.
Thank you.

Well if your motherboard is only showing these temperatures even when loaded then you have nothing to worry about my friend. What program is giving you these readings?

[noldor]

Checking values with EasyTune program from Gigabytes Driver CD.

And the "high loaded state" i mentioned in my previous message was not an actual testing loading. You know, i opened PC games and started some encoding decoding jobs at the background and these kind of stuff... And i saw that temprature did not change very much considering those jobs i started.

That's fair enough although I would have expected some rise in temperature. You can check in the BIOS and also check you CPU temp with Realtemp and Coretemp just to make sure that the CPU temperatures aren't getting too high because they are the most important ones.
