Title: Chipset Coolers Post by: nounderscores on February 14, 2011, 05:47:35 AM Hi Everyone,
Anybody else had a problem with a hot mobo chipset? I'm regularly getting shutdowns at chipset temps of +90C and I have to run the machine with the sides off and a house fan blowing directly on the mobo to maintain chipset temp of about 60C GPU temp with housefan is easily 83C to 85C. CPU temp with housefan is 70C to +80C when running bitcoin 3.19 on generate coins. I'm running: 142000 khash/sec poclbm.exe windows 7 mobo: DFI inc Lanparty DK790GX with stock chipset heatpipe. cpu: AMD Phenom II X4 955 RAM: 8gb Gskill GPU: Radeon HD 5770 (single card) hdd: WDC Green 1TB PSU: Antec Earthwatts 650W Any ideas on how to get this temp numbers down away from 90C? Do you use aftermarket chipset coolers? Any of them good? Please help! Cheers!

I'll give it a shot. Title: Re: Chipset Coolers Post by: bitjet on February 20, 2011, 10:00:47 PM Thanks! I'll give it a shot. Try to take manual control of your chipset fan in catalyst. Push it to 100% and see if that makes a difference.
