I have a s939 3000+ on an MSI k8t neo board that all of a sudden turned itself off because it showed high cpu temp (120C) heatsink felt cool :rolleyes:
So i reseated the fan with as5, same thing, then flashed bios and it shows around 84C no load in windows, reboot it and bios shows 45C.
Is windows detecting bios temp wrong? does the os or bios shutdown system because of high temp?
Is the temp sensor for these chips on the board or in the chip? (trying to figure out if i need to rma board or cpu or both)

did you just get the CPU? IHS might not be making contact with the core. I was having that problem earlier today. I had an IHS that was from a different cpu than the one that I was using, and they both had all of the black sealant on each of them, so the core wasn't even touching the IHS. Once I scraped all of the sealant off the IHS and cpu, everything went great.

What core / Vcore have you been using (checking for just plain old wear/tear on 90nm chips :shrug: ). Can you get a dif board to check (DFI NF4-D is my ltests and seems to work well enough :D )

Are u using a temp monitoring program that turns off computer when it detects high cpu temp? If so you have to use the MSI program .... heck this ITE smart program detects as 500 C on an NEO 2.

No, must have been windows shutdown, It was, for some reason detecting? temp wrong from bios, installed win 2000 on extra hdd and temps were normal, so I just retored it back a week and its fine :rolleyes:
Some kind of data corruption i guess

Well, I had a P4 showing me 120C idle both in BIOS and in windows. My guess, your sensors are most likely off, however if it resets itself (and not because of MSI software), then something is wrong :(

My problem was solved when I removed a little ball of silica that was interfering with a sensor of some sort.
