MOBO & SSD Temps !!! PLEASE HELP

[mohammad_sanoussi]

Hi I just built my new rig. I used some HW monitoring programs and I found that the motherboard "ASUS P8P67 PRO" temp at idle is 60 degrees. Also, my SSD "Corsair Force 3 Series 120GB" is 128 degrees.

Is that normal. for the motherboard is it because of the northbridge. What do u think here are the screenshots. Thanks

speccy is a piece of crap imho, dont trust it. dont remember which other program monitors ssd temps though.. but im sure somebody on the forum knows

Every thing looks working great, it's just these numbers. it's really weird cause the cpu temps are below 40 degrees on idle

Know I tried AIDA64 here are the screenshots, what do u think

My SSD doesn't have a temp sensor and reads like 256*c or something like that, yours could be the same way.

^^Same here, temperature monitors show a temperature of 123 C but if it was that hot, it would have burned through the plastic mount.

What about the mobo??

Hi,

I just looked at the screenshot of your temperatures and I have exactly the same motherboard and SSD you have. I then checked my Hardware Monitoring software and the SSD temperatures read 128 C for the SSD and 60 C for the Motherboard.

I know these temperatures are not correct because I have a fan controller setup with one of the temperature sensors very close to the motherboard and the temperature shown on the controller ranges from 29 - 31 C. When I first saw the temperature reading for the SSD I took the left hand side panel off and felt the SSD to check how hot it was. It wasn't hot at all.

Thanks for the reply. So do u think this is normal? I found out that the 60degrees on the mobo is the "CPUTIN" after using "CPUID HWmonitor"

btw, u are correct about SSD, because in HWmonitor it also shows 128degrees. Looks like the sensor is fixed

I think it's normal. No software will be 100% correct. Just by touching the SSD you can tell the software is way off and as for the motherboard my fan controller shows a "normal" temperature.

A few things...extremely tired now so please, bear with me.

• Firstly, SSDs have no moving parts and so therefore there isn't really anything to get hot. Most SSDs don't have an internal sensor or even a sensor at all, so you get odd readings
  
  like 1c or 128c. The reading you're getting which is most likely the correct reading (of 31c) is the assembly reading: the approximate reading of the outside of the SSD.
  
• The NB I'm not 100% about. As another poster has exactly the same problem, I'm guessing it's just the sensor not being compatiable with some software and monitoring programs. If it's showing CPUTIN as the one with a reading of 60c...run a little torture test to see if that rises immediately. If it does, it's the CPU and that should be OK (if it's an intel CPU).
  
• Night.
