ASUS Maximus Formula SE

Hi,

my Temperatures of Southbridge and Northbridge are a bit hi, i think.

Q6600/G0@3.4GHz@1.39_vC@1.47_NB@1.05_SB@428x8

Power/Idle Temp

NB: 65/54°C
SB: 54/50°C

is that ok or to hot? im using SE variant without watercooling, but i blow with 2x 60mm Fan's to the Headsink.

Does anyone know, how are the thermal specifikation from intel for north-/southbridge?

That is very high... My NB temps never used to go above 45c even on the Fusion Block edition of the board.

Unless you're running your system in a really hot room, that's EXTREMELY hot........I would check your case cooling or something.....doesn't really seem right. I don't think my temps would be that hot if I pointed my heater directly at my intake fans....

I'm hoping we get a 1xxx bios soon.

I've been checking the FTP alot.

what bios are you running?

my temps warped from while changing versions.

Hi,

wrong post of Value.

NB: 55/54°C
SB: 54/50°C

this temps are while my ambient temp in case are 42°C. at moment i have deinstalled all casefans. (build a new enviroment)

now i have found in the X38 chipset information a bit about the thermal specification. highest working temperature are 85°C, but the MCH works up to 92°C without a failure. Reboot's are strictly needed under "catastrophal condition" (without hardware damage of MCH) at 105°C.

Die or IHS temperatures ? How is the temp measured by the board ? W/o knowing that the info is pretty much worthless..

on the top in middle position of the IHS

Yes, found the specs here. That's most definately not where ASUS placed the NB temp sensor :P Does anyone know where it is ?

hehe, ASUS cut the IHS, put his Sensor on the Die (with UHU) and put the IHS on the MCH again. Now, this is the reason how expansive the maximus is. :-)
