Number display on my motherboard? What is this?

Makmarian · July 13, 2015

I have the z97 msi gaming 5 and there is a "number display" there, it changes number all the time, but i usually just stand at around 30, but it also spikes to 50 when im in fullscreen and stuff.

What is this?

This displays what the motherboard is doing now. There should be a chart in your motherboard manual of what each number does, this is there so that you can diagnose errors better.

It essentially displays the status of the board. If it's running fine, there's no need for it, but when you can't boot, checking the number displayed with your motherboard manual will give you an idea of what went wrong.

its a debug code

each number means its doing something

if something is wrong you can use the number to find what the problem is

It just shows what your motherboard is up to, it's to help diagnose problems, and 50's can be fine dw, mine is in the 50's right now too aha

That's it displaying the CPU temperature assuming that you are in the desktop environment.
