knightcom Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Hi, is my motherboard failing or is there a bug in speccy? I have been getting 146 degree on speecy about my motherboard. This temperature figures does not fluctuate and remain at 146 degree even when I just started my computer. Please help!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TexShane Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Do you see smoke coming out of your tower? (kidding) When was the last time you cleaned your computer's air vents and interior? That may be your fix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been getting 146 degree on speecy about my motherboard. Well according to ConvertAll that 146 Celsius is 754.47 Fahrenheit. I don't think that's possible without your computer melting and burning down the house. I'm curious what does Speccy state it is when switching to the Fahrenheit display.

knightcom Posted September 29, 2011 Author Share Posted September 29, 2011 Well, it had been about 1.5 year old, and I didn't felt any extreme temperature when using the laptop myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted September 29, 2011 Moderators Share Posted September 29, 2011 ConvertAll was wrong, according to this site your 146 degrees Celsius equals 294.8 degrees Fahrenheit, but still that sounds very high. Are you having any computer problems like crashing, etc.? If not some hardware on your system could be reporting the wrong temperature or Speccy is wrong.

redhawk Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 You're looking at false readings probably because the sensor is broken or Speccy doesn't read the data correctly. Typically a motherboard should run slightly cooler than the CPU or GPU because it dissipates heat a lot better. Furthermore being a laptop with a confined space you would expect similar temperatures for MoBo, CPU and GPU. Richard S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knightcom Posted September 30, 2011 Author Share Posted September 30, 2011 @Andavari- Being having several crashing lately (BSOD) when running malwarebytes, however, I resolved this issue after I reformatted my com as I experiences no crashes when running my computer with antimalwarebytes. But, there was once (during one of the BSOD crashes), when my system time was reset to 01/01/2000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan_B Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 If temperature sensors in your hardware give Speccy bad readings, perhaps they give false data to the rest of the system. If the CPU cooling fan is not switched on because the sensor gives bad data, perhaps the CPU is burning up inside and giving BSODs, but without any hot air being pumped around the outer case and vents might feel O.K.
