    Motherboard overheating

    SO here's the deal. I have an X-Dreamer II case with an Athlon 1800+ and a Gigabyte motherboard. I think it's a GA-7VRXP or something like that. I'm running 6 fans in my case. I have two intake in the front. One side intake. Two exhaust in the back. One exhaust in the top. I also have a Thermaltake Volcano 9 on my CPU.

    Motherboard monitor is reading 51 C for motherboard and 48 C for CPU.

    This is the same as what it reads under CMOS. And this is while I am typing this with just my internet going.

    Does anyone know why it's overheating like this? These temperatures suck ***.... What else can I put in there to cool it down?

    Thanks for any help you can give...

    I'm assuming you're running stock everything?

    If so, its got to be a bad mount or bad job of applying thermal grease. There is no reason for temps like that unless you're running at some pretty high voltages.

    You could try the Card Cooler XT

    are you sure ur koolin fans are doin the job ????

    they could b jus addin to ur woes...or creatin them

    51 temp for a mobo is kinda high...

    and for that amount of koolin ur cpu temp shud b lower..

    but check the ventillation n see if the fans are really doin what u want dem to do

    also re-apply thermal to ur cpu..and see if that helps
