For the PCH temperature i think that your CPU cooler not send airflow so around the CPU to the PCH

Test with the stock cooler

Look my old post

this motherboard have a lot of problems...

i have this motherboard with:
I3 550
4 gb kingston 1333
hd 500gb western digital blue
palit GT430
cooler master 550w silent
case is a cooler master Elite 360 witha  good Air flow with 2x12" and 1x8"
tried with both stocked cpu cooler and with a new Thermaltake SlimX3

this is what happen...

Watching blu-ray movie (1080p) sometimes...almost always,
computer freeze and shut down!
After this if i try to turn on the computer again, it freeze again before
i see the desktop....
so i have to wait at last 1 hour to see the computer start again.



If i start the computer i see the CPU temp around 28° and the
motherboard/chipset temp at 35°....

after 5 minutes cpu temp is always the same and the motherboard/chipset
is around 55/57°!!! Absurd!

Absurd is that the computer freeze and shut down without any reason..message...event...
How i know what is the cause?

BHA!!!!!!!

With my other HTPC (with an asus motherboard and almost the same component) never had a
single problem, never.

There are not many times that Gigabyte  representatives come on these forums apart from runn3R who is the forum administrator and is here most days.

Sorry i mean:
1x12" fan (air in, at the left side of the case, just on the cpu)
1x12" fan (air out, up in the case )
1x8" fan (air in, at the bottom of thecase)

hope its better!


Anyway, looks like there is no solution to this, or i'm wrong?
I read in many forum that a lot of peoples have this "strange" problem..."freeze and shut down",
not to mention about the high temp of the chipset/motherboard...!

Thanks. I understand you better now but I think that your measurements are somewhat off as there is no way you have a couple of 12" fans in your case. It also makes a difference how the fans are configured but your seem to be ok in that respect as you would have a slight positive pressure inside the case which is perfect.

yes, there are 2 x 12" fans.

anyway, do you think  this'll be fixed by gigabyte?
Its ok that my cpu is at 29° C and my motherboard temp at 57/59° C ??
And of course its not normal that it randomly freeze and turn off...


bye!

When it freezes what is the motherboard temperture then ?

What F5BJR suggests is a common issue when the stock cooler is changed for  a more efficient but differently angled heatsink and fan on the CPU. Have you tried replacing the standard heatsink/fan assembly ?

My chipset is also hot that is normal max is some 100 °C ( i have 54 °C at this time  but that is summer !! )

I have added  a fan for the chipset and also for my 2 * HD5770 because with my Adaptec RAID long card the path of fresh air is not great for the second graphics card  !!

if you have : motherboard temp at 57/59° C

You have a problem with your fan's case or the external temperature is very hot

Yes, same problem!
Thats why i changed with a better one.

This is the first time i have a gigabyte motherboard.
I have 4 pc, 2 for work and 2 htpc, all asus except this one with
gigabyte motherboard.

Do you think so?

Why the "CPU" temp is only 27/29° while the motherboard
temp is at 57/59° C?
Even with the "case Open"?
Thats strange...:!!

If i touch the chipset heatsink is very very very very HOT!


anyway...

could be the motherboard temp at 57/59° C that cause, while watching HD Movie
to freeze and shut down?
I noticed also that if i use windows media  player to see the movie looks like all is ok,
if i use total media theater, that use hardware acceleration, it freeze and shut down,
almost all the time.....

when i say "57/59° C" is what i see into the bios under "Current System Temperature"!
like in this pic:
 

(of course this is not my temp!!)

the heatsink i mean (thats really tooooo HOT) is the one on the pic, at the left side near the sata connectors:

Hi

If you are worried about it I would suggest a bit of customising. Add a dedicated fan to cool the heatsink in perticular. Sometimes this is the best way to tackle it.
