Acpi 52c?

What is this ACPI i see in speedfan? is it my power supply if so is 52c a good operating temp sometimes it does 52 other times its 38. Do I need to put a new fan in my power supply would that help? cause the psu does make noise when i first turn on my computer would that keep it cooler? im worried i dont want none of my other components to get fried or destroyed by this. thanks

I think its a motherboard temp. Not sure what the threshold is for it but 52 doesnt seem unreasonable for the northbridge.

Its a foxconn 661fx mj-rs im running the intel pentium 4 3.2 ghz 641 cedar mill core i just bought a new psu its an antec 350 watt so im hoping that helps. anyway to check max operating temp of the board? where could i find that? i dont wanna kill it but i dont have anymore connectors for a fan my vid card eats up to molex adapters pcie adapter for an agp card 6 pin to 2 molex's weird to me but it works like i want it to. and ive already got another fan connected to the board cooling my hard drives.. anyway let me know. just dont wanna destroy it i try to take care of it. the vid card is a visiontek ati radeon hd 2600 pro agp

Google hasnt really helped me find the answer, you could check the manual if you have it or even email foxxconn.

Yeah i know google hasnt helped me either. I did purchase the new power supply so i know it couldnt be that running 52c i got a fan cooling my hard drives maybe i need to move it and use it as a case fan and see if that does anything i dont know i just blew it out with compressed air so i know its clean as well.

A PSU running in the 50s isnt that odd.

In fact if thats the only temp that high it could possibly be the PSU I guess, though mobo is more likely to me.

heres a pic maybe u can figure out what is what here i sure cant i get temp 1 temp 2 temp 3 hdd 0 hdd 1 then temp 1 57c but it shows ACPI Temp 57

if u dont mind take a look see what ya think see if im in a danger zone it has a fire icon on the temp1 thats supposed to be acpi at the bottom thats why i asked this.. I will contact foxconn as well to ask what the max temp of the mobo is..In the bios i just checked and system temp is 32c that seems good and the cpu was on 52c so im guessing acpi is the cpu i thought it was the first temp speedfan showed guess i was wrong but the top one fluctuates thats why i was wondering.. so im just kinda confused now.. if its my cpu i can get some artic cool for that but i think max temp for that is like 85c.. dunno about the acpi it might be the psu but its a decent temp u think?

Bowser!

Ya seeing that view I like the PSU for the temp readout.

In configure or the info tab, is there a place to select your mobo model to get labels for the temps?

SpeedFan and similar utilities are notorious for reporting dangerous-looking temperatures for detected items that aren't even related to typically-monitored sources of heat in a computer.

This "ACPI" likely refers to a sensor on the mobo dealing with power regulation (think capacitors or something like them). I wouldn't worry about it unless you start experiencing lock-ups, crashes or the like.

just shows the chip they r on when i do that.. Well if its nothing to worry bout then i wont stress over it. the mobo is almost a year old i know i bought one that wasnt too much up to date but hey i can run a pentium d its just finding the one with the right core to fit this board. i just wanted something i could use my existing agp graphics card and ddr ram with. im lookin for a cheap sata drive to replace my master IDE drive it is dying a slow death and so is my slave 120 gig storage drive and i have no way to back all that up its my music collection and my pics it sux i dont have enough dvds to do it with lol. but all in all i like this computer cause it flies with the HT and it also runs most games that even require a dual core i can run cod mw 2 on full settings 1400X1900 res which is what my desktop is on. i dont mean to go off topic at all but do u think windows 7 would run good? pentium 4 3.2 ghz 641 cedar mill core with HT enabled 1 gig DDR 3200 ram ati radeon hd2600 pro agp 256 mb hp 2009m dvi monitor. I have a tiny windows 7 ultimate that has a lot stripped from it and its supposed to be really fast.
