So I am in the middle of overclocking my am2 x2-4600 and am testing stability using OCCT and as the title suggests I am using speedfan to monitor my temps. Most of the temperatures look good considering I am running at 2.88 right now, but there is one temp that seems really high and I dont really know what it is or if I should be worried about it.

while testing with occt look at temp3 (circled)


this is an idle reading for comparison


I circled the temp I am talking about. I think it is somewhere on the motherboard but I dont really know. The top temp is the one that is considered the motherboard by asus probe and the temp right above the core temp is my video card, but I do not know what the circled one is. 67C seems very high and I have seen it go higher than that. What do you guys think?

Just for reference my specs are:
asus m2n32-sli deluxe
amd am2 x2-4600 @ 2.88
2 x 1gb corsair xms

Using more than one sensor reader such as Asus probe and speedfan can cause conflicts and inaccurate readings. But I would guess that is your PWM temp which is not that unusual.

When you hit the configure tab, what does it say for for that particular sensor?

So right now I do not have asus probe even loaded, but I know that from when it was loaded. Here is a sceenshot of the configuration window with that temp circled, it is now sitting at idle so the temp is much lower now.

Anyone? I would really like to know if it is something that I should be worried about or not since I have now seen it up into the 70's C.

I had a sensor temp reading on my NF-7s that read like 114C in MBM. I never did figure out what it was reporting, but it never hurt anything. All your relavent temps are reported in Asus Probe. If you don't see a problem there, there isn't a problem.

Alright, sounds good to me. Thank you.
