Motherboard up to 100 C during gaming

[CoolguyXray]

Hi, im new here, so apologize if i'm in a wrong topic of the forum. So when I play games like GTA IV, Watch Dogs, and other intensive games, their performances drop 10-20 fps less after playing for about 5-10 minutes. I've downloaded all kinds of temperature detectors stuff like speccy, etc and put them together in order for me to see the temp of my PC. When it started to lag, the temperature of my mobo rose to 100 C. However when I opened my PC case and touched my mobo, I didn't feel that the mobo is hot. HOWEVER, when I touched the GPU. It was very hot, much hotter than the mobo. According to speccy and other temp detectors, the temperature of my GPU hovered around 60 C during the lag. The CPU wasn't hot also, around 50-60 C... So is my mobo bottlenecking?

 

Intel core i7 2600k sandy bridge 

Nvidia GTX 760 manli 2 GB vram

700w coolermaster silent pro

H61M-P35 (B3) 

Windows 7 ultimate

8 GB RAM DDR3

 

Additional info: I had GTX 480, the performances of games drop also when I used that card.

No, I think the temperature sensor on your mobo is broken...

Try using HWmonitor.

Exactly, I used HWmonitor also. That's why lol...

and also some other detectors like the one from sevenforums

Have you tried Speedfan? I'm a fan of that one.

 

I'd just try to get an RMA on the MoBo (if you can, Seeing as how you have a 2600k you may have an older build but I'm not sure)

Otherwise, if you're certain that the temps aren't actually that high, you could try to see if there's any protection/throttling settings in BIOS you can turn off.

 

But, as I said, Only when you're VERY sure. Check with one of those cheapo IR temperature sensors. Especialy any components with a heatsink for example.

Ummm I dont have speedfan, but I do have EVGA, I put the fan all the way up lol... I've checked in BIOS, no throttling settings at all.... Infact, everything is set to default, except for the cpu that is overclocked

Whao...congratulations dude! You can boil water now!

Speedfan not only sets fans. It also reads tons of other info like the kind of Fan regulators, voltages, and temperatures. In my past experiences very accurately.

You never mentioned an overclock before - how does the setup perform on a default clock?

ummm nothing significant really happens...umm, however right when speccy and the one from sevenforums decetor detect the mobo's temp is 100 C, the game lags.... It can't be a coincidence :l

haha yep!! lol

Is your case airflow good? Does any component of your pc gets very hot like that? -snip-

So it's not to do with the OC, that's too bad really. Would've been an easy fix.

I think there's only one option left really. If you can't feel any hotspots, the thermometer must be faulty, reading bad values, causing the board to throttle prematurely.

uumm very good airflow case, umm no, only the mobo according to the sensors I have. However when I touched the GPU, it is very hot. The same as my old kinda fast GPU, GTX 480. however i currently use gt 430, everything works fine, except I have to low the settings in games....:l so yeah.... Is the mobo bottlenecking my PC? its H61M-P35... -chomp-

I am so sorry.I don't know about this stuff much.But from my inferior knowledge,I think the bottlenecking is nit the issue.Did you try using the gpu on Amy other Mobo?

no not yet, im going to buy gigabyte gaming 3 motherboard.....hmm the egg is so delicious....

exactly....maybe its because the mobo is not compatible with the current gen card, thats why it throttle back because Ive read the website of the mobo. It's for ONLINE gaming and watching videos, not for gaming....

Nah, it should be fine. I think it has a faulty component. That mobo shouldn't impact performance as much as it does.

hhmmmmm whats the component youre talking about?

[Mojo-Jojo]

Probably an onchip thermometer somewhere, maybe the BIOS chip itself, but I can't be sure. It has to be something that the BIOS is reading to determine whether to throttle or not.

I believe the "Motherboard" temp sensor is open to interpretation, because I haven't seen a vast understanding of where this sensor exactly is.

mk, i'll probably buy a new mobo...
