Mobo Temp REALLY High!
Abit KV7 (KT600)
XP 2000+ T-bred B @ 2600+ (2.1GHz)
Corsair Value Select PC2100
Speeze CPU HSF (not sure on exact model, but it has an 80mm fan)
I built this system without a case, so it's just sitting on a cardboard box in the open. To overclock, I changed the multiplier from 12 to 16, but left the FSB at 133. The CPU temp stays at around 52 degrees C, but the mobo temp is at 55 degrees! I've never seen mobo temps like this. Do I have anything to worry about? Is this safe?

That is very high for a mobo temp. Maybe the cardboard that the mobo is sitting on is holding in the heat underneath the motherboard, much like insulation would. When mounted in a case, there would be some airflow under the mobo due to the space provided from the standoffs.  | |

Hmmm... I had not thought of that. I'll see if I can find something to raise the mobo and see if the temps drop.

Where are you getting these readings. Alot of times BIOS sensors do not give the proper temps, and programs like MBM tend to give bad readings unless properly configured and even then they are bad

have you tried after raising the MB, setting a fan next to it and letting it blow on it to see if the temps lower..that might help.

Okay, I raised the motherboard and put a room fan in front of it. Both mobo and CPU temps dropped the same amount, about 5 degrees. So it's about 47 for CPU and 50 for mobo.

At this point in time you should start to think about those sensors as being faulty.
The only way to really find out the temps is external temp probs.

Edit - I should mention that you need to be VERY careful when using a desk fan around an open computer. I did it to mine, and the hard drive shut down and required multiple reboots and at least one shock*** to the drive for it to spin back up again.
***By shocking the drive I mean turning on the PC with the drive molex connector unplugged, then plugging it back in (highly not recommended, but I was in a panic).

What caused your hard drive to shut down?
