Hi. I have overclocked my Amd Athlon Xp 1800+ to a 2000+. I have downloaded software to tell me a Temp reading.

The Cpu is 45 celcius
Motherboard is 65 celcius.

The motherboard is really really hot and i want to know why and a solution.

Weak / outdated / piece of crap mobo...lol. Didn't we go thru this?

Where are you getting these temp readings from? A software program or the BIOS? The BIOS is the place to look.

If anything, I would suspect that your temp readings are reversed...CPU is 65C & mobo is 45C. If that's the case, you still have a heat problem...probably caused by poor case ventilation. An unofficial rule of thumb is the board should be with 10C of room temp & the CPU (at idle) should be within 10C of the board temp. So if your room is 22C (approx 72F), your board should be 32C (or lower) & your CPU should be 42C (or lower) at idle. How many case cooling fans do you have & how are they arranged?

Have you ever updated the BIOS on that old thing? Did you check to see if any BIOS updates are available & if any of them correct temp reporting errors?
