Bursting with everything from Unlock CPU Core technology to military grade components.
zomg! 52 degrees C on the chipset! - thats just crazy - my chipset on a 890GX doesnt go above 27Degrees C when heavily overclocked :)
I don't get why MSI never include a post code error diagnosis display thing, surely it wouldn't cost that much right?
Might have been better marketing to advertise the heatpipes in relation to other motherboards as 52 degrees doesn't seem that cool. But then again from personal experience with the 790X and 790FX chipset (Asus M4A79XTD-Evo and DFI DK 790FX-M3H5) I know that the chipset runs rather hot and without active cooling (i.e. a fan) on the NB/VRM the pc will end up shutting down/restarting/freezing after 6 or so hours and I've seen that this isn't the only case for me.
Wow! I didn't realise people could confuse idle and full load!! :)Quote:

Heres a screenie of a 24hour Prime 95 run (that full load enough for you? ) - showing the chipset temp in the top right - Asus 890GX board.

Now you understand why boasting about a chipset temp capability @ 52Degrees C is worth a zomg! ;) - you'd have to be mental to run them temps on a chipset now a days lol - Last time I had anywhere near 40Degrees C on a chipset was on a socket 939 board ! :)
Hehe, who's trolling who now? :PQuote:

Well as long as it doesn't limit the overclock, longevity, and it loves 4x480 nearby, ePeen temps are meaningless also.
lol dude - if you've got hands on experience with these new 890 chipset's then I'll concede your point. If not - Then take it from someone who has hands on experience that these 890 chipsets run VERY cool - 22 Degrees C btw was my room temperature - and it (890 chipset) temps VERY rarely go above that - FULL load or idle.....
FYI - "In Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages"- Nothing bad in what I posted, just correcting your point about me having confuzzled myself over load / idle temps with actual proof (screenie is for proof and not for e-peen - lol I hardly call a 965BE @ 3.8 amazing!)
I hate to point this out, but - 22ºC ambient + reported temperature of 22ºC 24hr full load => subambient cooling, which you don't have or you would've said, or... a wrongly placed, incorrect or broken temperature sensor. Otherwise your motherboard is putting out... zero heat. Sorry :)Quote:

I've still got a 939 board where the chipset run so hot for so long, the chipset fan failed. It still runs with no fan working though, not sure for how long. My X58 chipset is warm, gets hot under a 4GHz OC.
Maybe MSI did a typo? Maybe they meant 25 not 52?
Edit - looking around, it's not a typo. But the heatpipe configuration is taking heat off the chipset and VRMs simultaneously, like my EX58 does.
miniyazz - good point. It must have been a couple of degrees cooler in my room at the time of that screenie. I've got about four screenies sat here though that I can show you taken over a four week period of me oc-ing my system with prime 95 24 hour sessions- all denoting the same results - its still a VERY cool running chipset - none of the screenies show above 30Degrees C.
Saying all that - This is an FX board (not GX like mine) - maybe when you've got it OC'd, with a four-card x-fire setup the chipset could hit them temps - so it's a kinda viable statement from MSI. and your right borandi - The pipe's are taking the heat for the VRM's aswell as the chipset so it could all add up.
Still can't get over it though - WOW! 52Degrees C!! :P
Don't worry about screenies, I'm really not that bothered :p
It's quite possible they are sufficiently cool-running that they can be kept below 30ºC on passive cooling. But I'd still hazard the possibility that the sensors are being misinterpreted by the software - as an example, SpeedFan misreads (or certainly used to) Core i7 temperatures as 15ºC lower than they actually are, which is a very significant difference.
And as an i7 user, 52ºC is nothing :D
My mobo temperatures occasionally exceeded 65ºC before I watercooled it, and that was with a (passive) heatsink roughly the size of Jupiter. :o
