ASUS Maximus Formula SE

[Cumulonimbus]

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..

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. :-)
