Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
Yeah, so the past 2 days I've noticed that my MB temp is consistantly higher than my CPU temp... which has never happened before (built this comp like 3 years ago?), so I'm curious what you guys think might be happening / is it normal / etc
For reference, the CPU's at 27 C, MB 31 C right now (basically idle), last night it was up to 44/47 running Tabula Rasa, which seemed a bit hotter than it usually runs (it's an oldish P4 3.2 ghz non-oc'ed)
One of the fans in the case (or on the mobo itself, if you have a northbridge fan or something) might be spinning slower or have stopped because of dust or what not. If you're concerned, just pop open the case and take a looksie.
Honestly though, I wouldn't be worried at the moment if I were you. Those are very safe temperatures even under load, and a CPU idling at 27C is fantastic. Monitor it for a week or two and see if the temps go up any.
