Asus E2KM1I-deluxe Temperature

Hi all,

I was hoping someone could provide me with their opinion on my GPU temperature. I have started to monitor my GPU (HD7340 integrated) temperature whilst watching blu-ray films whilst the motherboard is installed within my computer case. I am using HWMonitor to record temperatures and have confirmed the temperatures recorded via GPU Temp. At idle I am reading the GPU temperature at around 53-54 degrees Celsius, however when playing blu-ray films it has been recorded by GPUTemp to average at 73 degrees Celsius when room temperature is 26-27 degrees Celsius. The CPU temperature stays at or below 54 degrees Celsius. My main concern is the GPU temperature.

My question is do you believe these temperatures (CPU-54, GPU-73-75) are safe or are they going to cause damage to the components over time.

Many thanks

Luke
 
Is this with the rig in your signature? I assume not, since you're talking about an integrated GPU. While your GPU temp isn't too awful, your exceptionally low CPU temp makes me think that your GPU heatsink probably isn't working as well as it could be. You could always try removing the heatsink and replacing the GPU's thermal paste, which would probably improve the temperature.
 
Hi both,

The motherboard comes with integrated CPU and GPU With also an integrated cooler.

This computer is not the same as whats in my signature, i probably should have mentioned that ;)

In regards to the low CPU temperature, i also thought this was odd, however i can only assume that the GPU is under a greater constant load more of the time. I did think about replacing the thermal paste, but as this is a new motherboard i did not really want to remove the heatsink and risk voiding the warranty.

Oh, lol, I didn't even look at your thread title. :o That motherboard has an AMD APU, so the GPU should be built into the CPU die. In that case, it's a little odd that the temperature is so much higher. Maybe it's a misreading?
 
Thanks for the help both :)

The systems specifications are as follows:

Motherboard: Asus E2KM1I-Deluxe
Ram: Crucial 4GB DDR3 1333MHz
HDD: WD 250GB 2.5" Hard Drive - SATAII 5400rpm
Optical drive: Panasonic UJ240 internal 6x BD Blu-ray Burner Drive
Case: The case is a custom build.

If the CPU and GPU are on the same die i presume this means they are on the same chip?

Is there anyway i can test if it is a misreading? I have touched the heatsink when the GPU is supposedly at 66 degrees celcius and the CPU at around 45 degrees and it does not feel hot just very warm, however would the heatsink be the same temperature as the hottest component or would it be cooler anyway?

Many Thanks for your help!

That's a nice Mini-ITX rig you have there; pretty much the same components I would choose, lol. :) This is a stretch, but perhaps the GPU portion of the CPU die (basically same thing as chip) that is making contact with the heatsink is making worse contact than the CPU portion? It's always a possibility, but I would think that the heat would just spread. As far as a misreading goes, I would see if you can measure the GPU temperature in the BIOS; if not, try Catalyst Control Center.

Nonetheless, it's not a temp to be too worried about. If a CPU gets into the 70s C, that's a little worrisome; a GPU isn't considered to be too hot until it gets into the 80s C.

Thanks Spynoodle! i have checked the bios before now but it only shows the CPU temperature, CCC does not show either the CPU or GPU temperature on this computer, strangely it does show the GPU temp on my other computer though lol. The software ASUS provided on a disc alongside the motherboard drivers only shows CPU temperature. I may try and get in touch with either them or AMD to find out more about how to measure the APU CPU and GPU temperature and if there is only one reading as they are both on the same die.

Thanks both for your help.

Well, I hope that Asus or AMD can give you an in-depth answer; report back if you figure it out!
