mobo temps to high? I've been Oc'ing my cpu for the past few days and it seems to be stable @3.9ghz/55C max load/1.552v .I'm fine with that but my motherboard hits 60C is this dangerous? I realise the mobo isnt at 60c in the pic as i just ran prime for a min or so to get a screen shot http://img340.imageshack.us/img340/7197/mobotemps.jpg System specs cpu-amd 945 3ghz mobo-gigabyte 890GPA-ud3h Heatsink-Zalman 9700nt case-CM storm scout(5 fans) ram-3gb ddr3 ram gpu-gtx 260 216 HDD-750gb seagate |

I ordered a antec lanboy case and will have many fans blowing directly on the mobo sinks,should help alot(i hope). |
im not convinced it will be a huge improvement :) anyway those temps are not the end of the worlde. you can have a fan at a certain angle blowing down on it, takes 5 minutes and some zipties :) |

I'm a bit iffy on those temperature sensors for components other than the CPU. Touch the heatsink and see if it feels like 58*C |
