Your CPU cooling fan is not the issue, the Southbridge chip on the MB is and that does not have a cooling fan attached.

The reporting software says that there is only the one fan attached and that is for the CPU, you may also have one at the rear of the case that is the three pin type which would explain why it is not reporting any fan speed.

Just a fyi, the best cooling set up is the pull/push method, two cooling fans at the front of the case to draw in cool clean air across the MB and hardware and a large exhaust fan at the rear of the case to expel all the hot air, a PSUs internal cooling fan does not count as it is only any use to the PSU insides and the CPU cooling fan relies on the front and rear fans to get rid of the hot air rather than it just get recirculated around the insides of the case.

AUXTIN is the power supply temp sensor if there is one so we could do with knowing the brand and model name or number of the PSU and how old it is.

Hi thanks for the advice i will look into getting a new case that has a push and pull system hopefullythis will fix the issue

[phillpower2]

Sorry but you are jumping the gun a bit there as you need to find out what is causing such high temperatures, if the MB or PSU are faulty upgrading to a better case will achieve nothing other than you having less cash in your wallet.

Posting the requested PSU info and trying the cooling fan suggestion should be done before anything else.

Hi sorry, i have a corsair VS550

[phillpower2]

VS = value series and should not be used anywhere near a computer that has an add on video card, you will find it on Tier D • Recommended only for very cheap, iGPU systems here

[IsaGow]

will i need to get a new one?

[phillpower2]

Getting the MB temps down is your first priority and if using the cooling fan does not achieve this swapping in an alternative PSU for testing purposes is the next step.

[IsaGow]

I have a house fan atm there doesn’t seem to be changing temp much on speedfan

[phillpower2]

Double check the temps with HWMonitor then get back to us.

[IsaGow]

Yeah they are still high around 100

[phillpower2]

Not good

Do you know anyone that could lend you a PSU that you could swap in for testing purposes, anything above 300W will do as you can remove the add on GPU from the MB and use the integrated graphics to check the system temps, other than this you will need to have a local tech or tech store take a look.

[IsaGow]

well in the near future I plan to get a new (ish) graphics card and my friend who knows more than me says this with a new airflow case I will require a new psu anyway. Is it worth just getting a psu as I really don’t think there’s anyone who can help with this issue.

[phillpower2]

If that is the case then you will definitely need to have a local tech or tech store take a look.

Two things that can cause what is happening with your MB are a faulty PSU or one or more voltage regulators on the MB being bad, trying an alternative PSU is the only way that you can determine if it is the MB or the PSU that is faulty, looking at the voltage readings in HWMonitor it is the MB that is faulty and not the PSU.

Please restart your computer and check the temperatures/voltages in the BIOS, no screenshot is required just make a note of the temperatures, the DRAM voltage, the +3.3V, +5V and the +12V rails on the PSU and post them with your next reply.

NB: BIOS voltage readings.
The readings are not conclusive in the BIOS as the computer is under the least amount of load, if they are higher or lower than what they should be though it most often suggests a PSU problem.

No rush with the above as I am going offline now.

[IsaGow]

Awesome thanks for your help I’ll get that info. Since I think I may need a new psu anyway I may get one then I can determine if it was the psu or if it’s the voltage regulators

[phillpower2]

You cannot get a new PSU until you know what new GPU you will be getting + keep in mind that Bronze efficiency rated PSUs are not made to support gaming class rigs and last but not least not all brands of PSU are equal, Corsair, EVGA and Seasonic are the most respected of brands.
