62 ºC PCH Temperature, what's yours? Also Bad smell...

[tfouto]

Hi, i have my ud5h with PCH 62ºC and system 42ºC on idle. CPU is normal... around 30ºC.


I'd like to know how is your temperature. Doesn't need to be an ud5h. Any gigabyte would help understand the values of gigabytes PCH temperatures.


I think 62ºC is a little high i think.


BTW, any of you felt a strange smell on the first days of the board? Like melted plastic? I am curious if this is just because its a new pc or if any issue with my motherboard.


Many Thanks.

62c at idle is high. Sounds like you need some more fans going. But I wouldn't worry too much about damaging the board, just get some more air moving.

Thanks...

And about smells? My smells wierdo. Like melted plastic, its not really intense, but after a while the smell just gets on the entire room. I am wondering if its the new smell or is just something that is wrong...

Btw, what's your PCH temperature?

PCH temp is 55. No smells, but my board has been in service a while.

pch is the chipset apparently. See this post:

**[Official]** GIGABYTE Z77X Owners/Discussion/Information/Support Thread and Club (UD5H, UD3H, D3H, and ALL)

56 degrees C not an issue, but if it jumps up a lot higher then maybe. As for the smell, I never smelled anything like burnt plastic on my board. You may want to look around and see if you have a wire touching a hot spot (i.e., base of cpu heatsink, etc.).

what does pch come under in aida64? is it the motherboard temps? 62c is ok depending on ambient temps,i know on x58 they ran hot,z77/ib is similar regarding temps

wazza here's my AIDA shot. Did you go out and shake hands with the Queen?

[wazza300]

i think pch is motherboard temps,and no my sister saw her drive past and wave though

[boondocks]

South Bridge in Aida is same temp as PCH in HWINFO on my mobo.

My PCH Temp is between 54 / 58 d.c. no worries.

Had no plastic smell at all, could be you have a faulty mb or bad capicitors?

Would check all your cables an try to determine the source and need be return
the mb to the retailer.
