I have an MSI 890FXA-GD70 motherboard. I went to MSI's site today to check for driver updates, and then I saw it...
"Due to power design specifications, we strongly advise against running heavy burn in tools on this mainboard to protect your system from heat damage."
I rarely run any 'heavy' burn in tools (only run when I get new CPU/heatsink to find max temp). I do however, render stuff in 3DS Max a lot.
By heat damage, do they mean for the CPU's voltage regulators or something? I want to do what I can to keep my system at safe temperatures, because my computer goes through long periods of time, sometimes weeks, running computationally intensive applications (simulating physics, rendering, etc), and I can't really afford to replace the system board (I can but it'll suck @**). The northbridge and voltage regulators are on the same heat sink, which I've installed a fan over it.
Think it'll help, or got any thoughts?
