Upgraded Ram and now have a high motherboard Temp...

[daveyhue]

Hi as per my previous post where my PC wouldn't boot, I managed to fix my pc by upgrading the ram (fingers crossed and touch wood), although since I upgraded the ram from 2GB Cheapo DDR2 800 to 4GB Corsair Dominator DDR2 1066MHz the motherboard temp has risen from 38c to 46c and PC Probe keeps telling me my Motherboard has a abnormally high temperature which is quite scary!!

My CPU temp is still around 29c which i'm very happy with.

My specs are:

Lian Li V2010
Asus P5Q Pro
4GB DDR2 Dominator 1066mhz
Scythe Mugen 2 Heatsink
Samsung F3 1TB
Corsair 620w PSU
Intel Q6600



Can anyone please shed some light?? thanks!!

Have you tried using another monitoring program to make sure PC probe is accurate on your machine? When monitoring my Q6600 recently i was recieving very high readings on one program, but after trying a couple of other programs i realised it was the first set of readings that was off, and my temps were reasonable.

Thanks for your reply, TBH I think PC Probe is buggered, my motherboard is now around 29c/30c and rising the longer I keep asus probe open.. and my CPU is 19c :S
