Dear Forum Members,
I bought a mainboard for Dell-Vostro-1015 which is new and unused.
Mainboard Model: DAVM9MMB6G0 rev. G
The CPU and the North Bridge have really fine temperatures in the range of 45'C-55'C that have heat sink. But the South Bridge does not have heatsink by the manufacturer. So the South Bridge gets hot to a temperature in the range of 60'C-70'C after 8 minutes of usage. Other than the high temperature, the South Bridge works fine in this laptop.
I remember from old computers that all South Bridges should be typically cool without heat sink. Do you think this South Bridge is defective with this temperature? any experience please?
Thanks
