    PWM chips on boards

    Hi , today my sons abit board PWM chips shot to 80c and the alarm was set on it to beep if this happens.

    It is a ABIT AW8 -max board , a very good board i may add but that said there is very little info on these PWM chips.

    This is where your tech guys and there experience comes in , could you guys tell me and advice me what i should set the PWM chips alarm at?

    I bought this board off you about 5 months and I don't want to change it if there is something like just changing the PWM setting is possible( the alarm)

    Thanks in advance for the replies

    iirc the PWM chips are rated to something like 130C but cooler is obviously better.

    So what has changed to make the temps jump - more dust, less airflow, hotter ambient temps?

    More calculations on a certain program , it did go to 76c whilst gaming so this doesn't surprise me cos the difference is only 4c but that said it made the alarm go off.

    If scan can confirm that I can put the setting a bit more up then I am cool
