Cpu overheating CPU temp is running around 31 deg C with case open and external fan blowing on it. With case closed it started climbing up to 37 before I reopened the case. Do I need to replace only the cpu and fan, or should I replace whole motherboard? I've been trying to find a board to buy but no one seems to have one. Have they stopped making them or what? Can I use another board instead? Karen

I would purchase a external fan to keep the unit cool. if your computer is functioning and the only issue is that it's over heating, you could hardwire another fan unit. this way the fan is always running and that should keep the temp down. if your having a hard time finding a board chances are they are obselete and your out of luck, however you can check around your local repair shops and you just might get lucky... please rate this
if you can try and hard wire a fan unit inside the case as well this will only help the situation.
Hi,
Three possibilities:
- the HSF (heatsink/fan combo) is no longer sufficiently cooling the CPU, probably dusty, clogged, the fan lubrication dried up. Remove, clean lubricate;
- thermal runaway of the CPU (unlikely but still is a possibility);
- temp sensor faulty. Could possibly resolve with a BIOS update/flash.
Hope this be of initial help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.Good luck and kind regards. Thank you for using FixYa.
Should you still be interested with a replacement motherboard, pls try here (it's a store in the Philippines).
First of all make sure that your motherboard is not overclocked. you can try to use a stronger fan and if the temperature still goes up then it only means that there is something wrong with your processor and you need to replace it.
You can just simply btry to add another fan or get a bigger fan to make the system much cooler to avoid overheating, I think they already stop making this MOBO that's why its hard to find this any store even online...
Hope that helps.........
You can try to use another fan with high cooling capability. Also you can adjust the CPU temp on the BIOS setup.
