Odd Mobo Temperatures? And Adding RAM issue.

[LucasJohn]

Hello,

 

So I have a fairly old PC with some not all that optimal parts. So I've noticed some odd temperatures going on. I have a Corsair H100i GTX CPU cooler, normally when doing things such as browsing, discord, Netflix. Usually at the same time, I can run the PC in a quiet profile. Lately, I've noticed just doing those things my cooler ramps up and the pump start pumping faster. So I've been checking out my temps for some reason Corsair Link (a glitchy mess) reports that MB Sensor 2 is at 60+ Celsius (Mobo: msi Gaming 970). And everything else is fine. So I checked HWiNFO64 and it reports my CPU 60+ Celsius. My CPU is like 20 celsius. So I'm thinking is Cosair Link screwing up? Should I be worried? I did check my MOBO with a temp gun and it seemed fine. One VRM on the board was report a temp similar but nonetheless was at least 5 - 6 degrees lower than the reporting sensor. I provided to screen snips of the reporting temps too. Any help, insight, guidance would be greatly appreciated!

 

One more thing I should mention is that the largest VRM on the board, it's thermal pad underneath has been leaking oil (for lack of a better phrase). I've been aware of this for months and I believe not the cause to the issue.

 

I asked this question before about an issue I am having adding more RAM to this machine. I cannot seem to add more RAM as the system will not Post. I've been at this issue for almost 2 months now and I cannot seem to get my system to use them. I tested all the sticks. (Currently using the set in the PC right now). I've done my research prior to purchase. Checked the Mobo it can take 32GB. I have 16GB currently and I'm trying to add 16 more. They're both the same set too. All the slots are working fine too. Even cleaned them... I'll pop in the 2 extra sticks and it just won't post no matter what I do. I'm at my wits end with this RAM. Any help, insight, guidance would be appreciated greatly!

thermal paste drying up on top of one of the sensors more than the others can do that. Try repaste.

I would assume that you are aware that your fx 8350 only supports DDR3 memory, but I would believe the issue to be that the CPU only supports a maximum of 16GB of memory. 

 

In response to your motherboard temp issues, I don't think there really is a fix. If under warranty, you might as well give it a try to get it repaired. If anything get a new one probably e.g. AsRock 990FX-Extreme3
