Motherboards going over 111 celsius, normal?

    I've checked with Aida32 the four computers here at work and they all show the exact same thing: the motherboards are heating up to over 100 celsius! This CAN'T be normal, right?

    The computers:

    Processor - Intel Celeron II, 566 MHz
    Motherboard - QDI BrillianX 9
    64 to 128 SDRAM

    Pretty old machines...

    Here's the exact heat and rate of fan of the computer I'm writing this on:
    Motherboard 126 °C (259 °F)
    Processor 30 °C (86 °F)
    Monitor 59 °C (138 °F)


    The fan 3590 RPM (pretty low, imo)

    No that can't be right.
    I think you've got those mixed up. To me, 59 is normal for a processor, 30 is normal for the motherboard and 126 isn't normal for anything :p I had a sensor like that on my old board which would fluctuate between -50C and 140C. Not related to anything so far as I could see.

    I was thinking the exact same thing, but all four computers tell the exact same thing: Over 100 celsius motherboard. Maybe there's some problem with all the sensors of all the computers (however unlikely that would be).

    How can I get the motherboards real temp? Any simple way?

    And the figures aren't mixed up. Straight from Aida32, I just translated emolevy to motherboard and so on.
