Motherboard Overheating?

HWMonitor is showing that my SYSTIN temperature is at 86 degrees at idle.

I have no idea what SYSTIN is, tried googling it, nothing definite pops up.

PC keeps crashing after a few minutes playing BF3/BF4, and my northbridge heatsink is pretty hot (but more like 50 degrees, no where near 90.

I'm out of warranty period for my motherboard, any suggestions? maybe ghetto mount a fan? but for that, I'd need to know which component is overheating.

 

Thanks.

 

[EDIT]: Actually, the southbridge (which on my motherboard doesn't have a heatsink on) is running hot, hotter than the north bridge (Still not as hot as  90). But still not sure which component is running at that temp. any help?

Could you please post your specs (This will help us give you a answer you post is not enough information )

motherboard gpu cpu so on and your case and additional fans if any 

 

The causes are either a BIOS bug causes a high temp reading when it's fine 

Poor heatsink application on the Chip set or just poor air flow

Figured it out, its definitely the north bridge, after opening the side panel and placing a desk fan next to it, temps dropped (by 50 degrees in 2 minutes :o)

Ordered a 120mm noctua, gonna ghetto mount one on there and make it look pretty. thanks guys.

86C? What motherboard do you have? That is one terrible design flaw.

If this was solved for you, could you please mark the answer that helped you the most as "Mark Solved" so that the thread can decrease in priority?
