Motherboard temperature too high.

[Bruce M.]

Hi folks...

I think my motherboard temperature is too high and it's worrying me.

I have an MSI K8N SLI-F 939 NVIDIA nForce4 SLI ATX AMD mainboard with an AMD64 CPU. Attached is an image showing 45°C (at the moment it's 59°C)

I can't find anything on the net, to date, to tell me what the norms are for this board although I'm still looking.

Sensors tells me: high=28°C, see why I'm a bit worried.

I have NO idea what that hyst = +8.0°C means either.

Any help put there?

Chimo!
