pite Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Found a way into the BIOS with this USB keyboard thru the app and set everything to Optimized Default. Not really concerned except that the CPU reading 0 makes me worry that IF it were to get hot I wouldn't be alerted. Sure wish the manuals would address the fans IRT automated temp control. Oh weel. If I understand you correctly, CPU fan is working correctly, however for some reasons CPU temp reading is ZERO. CPU fan is typically PWM driven and varies the speed dependent on the temperature of the CPU. There're few OEM or after market application available to map the fan to temperature. However, if your CPU temp is showing zero the fan won't be turned on unless you map the fan speed to 50% for Zero degree C, 60% for 20C, 70% for 40C, 100% for 60C and above - this is just a bandaid !!! So the real question is why CPU temp reading is zero. That seems like mobo, BIOS, CPU socket or CPUT issue. If I were you then remove the CPU from the socket, use a "compressed air canister" to clean the BGA socket (BGA = Ball Grid Arrray) of the CPU and reset the CPU. Now on the subject of CPU failure due to overtemperature: Typically CPU goes in a shutdown mode when it overheats (each CPU has it's own temp setting for overheat to shutdown), howwever, it doesn't seem that the CPU is heating up. I actually had a bad CPU where CPU would heat up above 30% load. It was replaced and new CPU runs great! Hope this helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True So the real question is why CPU temp reading is zero. That seems like mobo, BIOS, CPU socket or CPUT issue Agreed, Newegg is replacing Motherboard. BIOS is set to defualts, no OC Since I reset the BIOS to default (I never changed it from factory) it has been stable.

pite Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Okay. Keep us posted when you replace the mobo... I'm very biased to ASUS, but Gigabyte is not bad... All the best! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USNRET Posted February 19, 2015 Author Share Posted February 19, 2015 Thanks all, stable for now. I picked this MB due to having coaxial and fiber digital out for DAC use (and it looked cool) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USNRET Posted February 20, 2015 Author Share Posted February 20, 2015 Fans are still stable so I will be returning the new motherboard that Newegg sent me today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
