I have intel 865 montherboard , and the tempreture is always high. is there a solution? thanks?

Answer 1

put a fan in...the temp rises when the air doesn't circulate properly.

Answer 2

All these A+ certified people and not one person is actually catching the error of this question. Here's what's going on....

Your motherboard isn't the problem with the temperature. It's actually the processor that's registering the heat problems. The last generation of Pentium 4 processors (Prescott class) are known for having heat problems. Additionally you have harddrives and other hardware items that generate heat.

What you want to do is make sure you have a well secured heatsink dissipation fins mounted on the processor. Off that, have a fan that pulls the heat from the fins and disperses it throughout the PC case.

In the PC case, make sure you have adequate ventilation. Meaning fans that are feeding the case clean cool air and other fans that are pulling out the heated air from the case. The more ventilation the better, unless you want to invest in an air conditioning system for your PC.

Keep the inside of your PC free of dirt and dust. Dust is the #1 killer of PCs. I creates heat and causes shorts if compiled too much. Canned air is the best way to free of yourself of this problem.

Keep the PC itself in a location that has enough air movement. Some people have computer sitting in enclosed areas of their computer desk. This is not good because the enclosed area can get heated as well so there's no cool air for the PC to intake.

Hope this helps.

Answer 3

Clean it out, especially the CPU heatsink. Blow it out with canned air.

Make sure that all of the fans are working properly.

Make sure that the case is properly closed and all removeable panels are secure.

Make sure that it has good access to air circulation. NEVER put a computer in a closed compartment such as a desk or one of those computer amoires; they don't allow enough air circulation and will allow it to quickly overheat.

Make sure that all unused slots have covers properly installed. Airflow through the case is important and missing slot covers will interfere with the proper airflow and may contribute to overheating. (Inexperienced techs may tell you otherwise on this, but they are wrong. If a machine runs cooler with the slot covers removed, there are other issues that you need to deal with such as obstructed openings on the front of the case, inadequate fan size, etc.)

Go into the BIOS setup and see if there is an option for the fan speed. Select the option for high speed always.

Verify that the jumpers are set properly for the CPU that you are using. Overclocking or too much voltage will make it run hotter than normal and may eventually damage it.

Answer 4

Yeah, I think it's funny that a so-called A Plus tech would suggest removing slot covers or side panels. That's actually a question on the Core Exam. Removing them actually causes overheating. Haha!

Anyhow, follow all other advice. Add a larger fan. Make sure to clean out your heatsink(s). Close all panels and slot covers. Keep your machine in an area where it can get proper ventilation (don't keep the back so close to the wall; the fan is trying to push out the hot air and if it's too close to the wall the hot air will have nowhere to go).

If all else fails, install a water cooling device at your own risk.

Answer 5

Put a larger fan in. Remove slot covers. Make sure the air can circulate. If the computer is in a desk leave the door open when it is running.

Answer 6

I had a similar problem develop with a different brand of motherboard and it turns out the capacitors were going. They finally blew out and the board was shot. Could something similar be happening to yours?

Answer 7

what do you consider to be high?
Make sure your cables are not blocking airflow, make sure all fans and heatsinks are clean, keep the room at or around 72 deg
are you talking about system temp, or cpu temp
